I'm not a tartan expert Paul but I wouldn't now about the red thickness but it still looks great to me and like you say once you've faded the colours it will look even better

Hi all a few more pics of the progress, ive got rid of the tartan, it didnt look quite right, and gone for a grey blue with a bit of decoration around the cuff, the left arm is base coated ready for shading and the belt needs a bit more work on it

Nice work Paul.


I think the paint change suits the overall view much better.

 

[Guest]

Thanks for the great comments guys and gals, Moni the tartan is base coated then highlighted and shaded, then the first stripes that are highlighted and shaded, then the rest of the stripes again highlighted and shaded.

Wow!


Every time I see another of your fantastic figures I know I'll stick to aircraft


It's great to see your work and I do draw inspiration and even tips for some of my sorry efforts. At least I can hide mine in a cockpit and behind an oxygen mask and harness !


Cheers

[Guest]

[Guest]

Hi all just to show that we never stop learning, I have been posting this on PF forum and one of the guys there posted a bit on it to say that the creases on the padded gambeson should be pale and posted this picture

now technically this shouldn't work on a miniature as the theory is that the deeper it is, or the further away from the light, the darker it is. however I thought I would give it a go and this is the finished result and I have to say I think it works
