Fine work Steve. Looking very good indeed.

Just a thought, but it might be easier to build up the uniform colours from darkest to lightest. I always find it much harder to put the shadows in last.

That's what I thought I was doing :smiling5: :smiling5: :tears-of-joy: :smiling: :thumb2:

That’s pretty much how I work Peter, inside to outside (flesh, shirt, coat) and darkest shade to lightest shade of each colour...

Hi Steve
To get a good hint on the trouser highlights look at the last picture of your first posting. The light indicates them really nicely. I would try to get the layers a little more transparent so the edges blend in a little. Also, unload the brush before you paint on the model so you don’t flood the surface, I find the best way to do this is a couple of brushstrokes on a piece of photocopy paper I keep next to the bench. Peter uses the back of his hand I think.....it’s a really worthwhile technique to get down, it gives you much more brush control....

Just take heed from Peter and Tim .
