The USCR Commissar is really starting to take shape as Romain starts on the next stage of this painting tutorial. He adds levels of shading and starts on the metal sections of the miniature..

Great work Romain. Nice to see an easy way to paint a model. Especially because this game may be the entry game for many wargamers.
Thanks !
I think it’s important that someone herald the fact that it’s just as easy (if not easier) to paint in washes and glazes, for a great result, rather than the Foundry or Citadel styles of painting.
I really like the gritty, earthy look of the finished model. It really adds a narrative to the piece, a true veteran after weeks in the field rather than the “stepping off the parade square” look other techniques provide.
Is this a common result of the washes and glazes medium or more to do with your careful colour selection?
Bring on part 3. 🙂
No, it’s a result of not having spent enough time blending (these tutorials are filmed in one afternoon, usually, so I have to manage my time and choose the effects I do in accordance to the time they take to obtain)…
Thanks anyway ! 😉
Great to see you outside of the Backstage area again Romain!
While I’m not a huge fan of this particular figure, I think the technique you’re using could quite easily be applied to others as well. I’m considering using it for quickly painting some undead / zombie figures to get some more gory effects like blood and grey matter.
Looking forward to part 3.
Thanks !
Don’t hesitate to take a look at my zombie tutorials…
@obsidian32 if you’re looking for some good gore try Tamiya clear red and a single drop of brown or black. Looks amazing. Did it on my sefadu here: http://snaptocover.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/IMG_1178-954×1024.jpg
True, it makes for great glossy fresh blood.
I do like my blood a little darker, so I add black to it… Unless it’s dried, in which case I use matte hull red and black (and occasionnally a tinge of brown).
I second the Tamiya clear red method… works wonders… and if you leave it for dry slightly on the palette, you get some nice clotted effects as well !
In terms of washes, I’ve used the technique to paint yellow models before… sprayed them white, then wash with a yellow / brown wash mix.. for a nice goldern yellow.. saved a ton of time, and much easier than trying to actually use yellow paint !

I hear that Irn Bru works well for reds too!
