Bam ? look forward to watching this after work
Austrians…. I hope this one doesn’t get rejected by an uni of arts of sorts…
nice paint job
Not a bad paint job…curious as why the colors all look drab? I didn’t hear if this was the look you were going for. I would have highlighted a few to add more contrast.
Loving this week’s theme week. Really think The Silver Bayonet is a great game.
Another lovely wee tutorial, simple but looks good for the table. Quick question, what is it you use as a palette?
I knoW it’s out of your box however a lovely job, I do wish mine will be as good.
he looks fabulous john.
I liked the skin when first put on made him look very frighten of the game he is in………..Boo.
I find myself using the fun collection of different flesh and brown tones of Citadel Contrast Paints just to vary up the tones of straps, pouches and clothing and it does it very well. Sometimes it will take things glossier than I would like, but a thin layer of watery PVA or some matte varnish usually knocks that back a bit. Great paint job. ?
Great work
looking forward to seeing him on the tabletop
Prettiest Lederhosen in town!
lovely bit of lederhosen. Great paint job @johnlyons
Like seeing an Irregular, all the white for the Austrians has always given me anxiety.
