And a lovely job you made of it Stuart. The camo is superbly done.

Morning Peter

Another great head and the kit head too, well done.

Looks like a real grey day ahead, hopefully it will be enjoyable with all the drapery and subtle shading to differentiate the components of the figure.

Have a good day with the paints

Peter .
Good to see you having such fun, and including a Russian DPM machine gun !
Looking a really great head. Nice and bright here so hope the same for you.

Steve - Yes, a miracle - a kit head! On to the jacket today and an early start to catch the light.

John - Richard predicted you'd like the DPM. A very dull day here and light gone by 2.00pm.

Here's where he's at:



I decided to use Vallejo Green Grey for the jacket to give a washed-out look. I'll use their standard Field Grey for the trousers to provide some contrast. I painted the gloves with Intermediate Blue, which passes muster as German mouse grey.

Peter,
Brilliant as usual.

Morning Peter

Looking well washed out and a nice blue/grey contrast with the padded gloves too. The names Vallejo use can be distracting sometimes!

Looks like you have another grey day ahead with the light for painting!

Enjoy another grey palette, hopefully not too cold as it freezing up here!

Scottie and Neil - Thank you.

Steve - Morning. Vallejo colour titles can be hilarious, though they have improved my Spanish. Another grey day and grey palette - on to the legs today.

Jim - No pressure then! Many thanks.

Stunning work as usual Peter :smiling4:

[Guest]

Cheers Si.

Legs:



I used Vallejo Medium Camo Green dulled with a little black brown for the trousers to try and get a different shade of field grey. I did the same with Deep Green for the gaiters, and the boots were done with mixes of Leather Brown and Saddle Brown.

Morning Peter

Super work on the drapery and a lovely subtle change of colour, it really does look well worn and washed out.

Another cold day ahead as the light gets less and less until we get to December 21st.

Have a good day with all the equipment

Morning Steve.

Pleased that you like the colour difference and that it works for you. On to his gear today and I've decided to go with the kit MP44 and ammo pouch combo, as it is a better fit. The short days and poor light are a real pain for someone who doesn't like working under artificial light. At least it means that my wife is happier that I spend less time modelling - she's fully retired now and is keeping an eye on me.

Looks great as always Peter.

Many thanks Tim.
