    Grief it's scottie

    Calling this finished now with the addition of two figures. This was the third attempt to paint them as I am not a figure painter. If you use the 30m rule they look ok

      Paul.
      What do you mean, you agree that "It'll do"?

      You would be hard pushed to get it better, that's for sure!

      The figures look excellent, as does the Greif. Show winners IMO.

      Well done Scottie, including the figures. Just a little tip if you'd like to try...you've done all the shades and highlights to the flesh tones, all it needs now is just a thin filter of very thinned Vallejo Wood Grain or any reddish brown tone ink that would bring out the pinkish hue to the skin. Go over a few layers again after a few seconds in recessed areas until you see the effect you want. Hope this tip works for you just as it has for me.
      PS, the brush has to be semi dry and don't let the paint puddle up.

      Cheers,
      Wabble

          Well done. Another excellent piece. I especially like the dry/cracked earth on the base, a very rare detail.

            Thank you Paul. It is AK dried earth. it is one of the very rare after market products that I have. I tried many ways to try and the the look but could never get it right. So I bought a pot of this and was impressed with the result

          Excellent as per Scottie.I can't tell you how many figure painting tutorials I have tried. Bought the exact paints, the exact brushes, followed step by step and always end up with a googly eyed circus clown. These however are pretty bloody good!

            I'm the same mate. I live in awe of the figure painters.

          I think your figures look just fine mate.Matron might bring her monocle and have a closer gander at them at a show.I hope to see this soon mate.Brews are on me.
