Started painting smock in splinter but this could now be wrong so may well have to change and also a start on the face... That's so hard....

Looking good Brad. Splinter ain't easy, and you could always just do the early reed green version. Having said that, it looks very well done so far.

Excited to see this.

Hi Brad, looking good so far. As Peter said, this pattern isn't easy, think you're on the right track, I wouldn't change it despite any discussions on the other thread.

Cheers

Thanks Dirk, I think I'll stay with splinter, as discussed on the other thread, I have another trooper to do, so Jim's Italian suggestion could be on the books, I think Peter D, did that somewhere on here, I'll have to have a look about.
I also intend to get couple more if it goes OK,

Thanks again.

Welcome John, May need to borrow some of your meds later, don't know how this will go..lol

Updated.. added green blocking Which seems bright but hopefully tones down with weathering plus it needs tightening up. Back to the face later. Cheers

Very impressive Brad. Camo patterns are a real art and you have have done a great job. The colours will soften and once finished they will all blend in perfectly. Also the facial work is wonderful. A real joy to see your work. Keep it comin sir :thumb2:

 

[Guest]

Agree with my leanerd friend Rivet Jones Brad ,keep going .

 

[Guest]

Thanks Steve and John for the encouragement. Not happy with face though, I can't get the paints to blend properly, the pigments seem to be bitty, so may strip it off again, we'll see. Cheers again.:thumb2:
