Cheers John , I adapted this process from learning how to paint horses , it's works very well on rugged faces as well

 

[Alan 45]

Well I have now completed my drunk guys


Decals are on and there looking good in the photos but you can barely see them in real life View attachment 116452

Nicely painted figures Alan. Your drunk guy has had a bad day.

 

[Alan 45]

Thanks Joe


Bar a few touch up points ( I've only just noticed in the photos ) this fellow is complete


He's not as good as the others because I struggle to do camo and give it depth I did however manage to take a bit more off his back so he lies on the stretcher better

I've now filled the gap and painted the inside of the doors View attachment 116646

the doors have a wash on them and metalcote but I forgot to take photosView attachment 116648

i put a dark earth wash over the instrument panel as it looked to clean View attachment 116649

since the building was a disappointment I found an old base and have been tinkering with the position of it , I don't know if I'm going to add the driver yet I'll paint him up and see if he adds anythingView attachment 116647

I'm dismantling some of my early dios as I've learnt a bit more now and I'm keeping the usable bits and binning the rest


This on doing this I realised I can use some on this dio


This is what I came up with View attachment 116660

I can repaint that wall add some rubble
View attachment 229683

 

[geegad]

Wow missed a lot you have been busy real nice work on the figures and the guy on the stretcher looks real nice now u helped him lose some weight..


And that base will work a treat with your builds

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers John I'm pleased your enjoying it


I've got the kuble finished with a slight weathering to show the detail just shadow really
