    Nice one Bob (y)!

    How did you tone down the red, did you add a bit of bluish grey or something?

    Thank you both for the comments, I have said elsewhere that this is a very nice sculpt.
    Joe, I use the Andrea red acrylìc set. I used a pigment from AK European dust on the tunic to give him a dirty uniform look. From your coment, it worked.
    Regards to you both and thanks again.

    Beautiful work. Like the campaign version with great technique on the dirt and dust. Wonderful job on the scarlet for the tunic.

    Very nice work Bob. Say, do you ever take time to eat or sleep? I am amazed at your output. I'm lucky to get a figure primed and ready to paint in the time you seem to take to complete a figure. LOL

    You need to get Neil Thornton's Rorke's Drift - A New Perspective, probably the best book I have read so far.
