discussion France 44 tankers break up the boredom

he is great , well done Alan, real like how you are able to paint in the crosses

what color did you use for the uniform ? please, as you can real see the difference between the black off the belt

 

[Alan 45]

Thanks folks I appreciate that

Moni the uniform is matt black and the belt in gloss black

Once I've painted the uniform in black I dry brush it lightly with dust grey so you can see the crease folds
