Nice work Grant, the Denison looks spot on.

Excellent painting Grant !! Congratulations !

I have ordered the £95 4-figure set of these beautiful AMP Miniatures paras two weeks ago, but am still awaiting delivery of the parcel ...

... I wait and wonder ... maybe ordering these figures was like going A Bridge Too Far ?

Grant,
Really great job - the subtle colouring on the rest of the figure works very well to show off the camouflage. Its a great technique you've found there.
cheers
Mat

Nice work Grant, the camo is especially well done.


Cheers David

This looks really good Grant.
The denison turned out very convincing!

OK, everything cool - thanks

by the way, I also think the denison smock turned out superb.
Just a personal thought if you allow - there is still an old post somewhere on this forum in which someone gave the following advice for painting a Denison smock : first paint the camo pattern in the right place in the right colours (which you have done very well, congrats !), then let it dry thoroughly, then go over it with a thin transparent glaze of Raw umber oil paint , or even Raw umber mixed with Olive green oil paint, to bring all the colours together, and then finally highlight the tops of creases etc with Naples yellow (I suppose by means of a controlled drybrush in said places) so that the smock on the figure gets the "worn" faded look and feel of the real thing ...
It was also suggested to put the figure near a heat source to make the oil paint dry matte.
what do you think ? Good method ?

I'll look for that thread.

I ran a glaze of chocolate brown in the recesses and then a glaze ofEnglish uniform all over to tone down the yellow taint of the smock and to try and tie it in with the trousers. The work in progress pics show how yellow it was.I then mixed some pale yellow I think it was into the base colour for highlights. I also used black on the seams and pocket linings for depth. (All acrylics)

Grant,

here, I think : http://www.planetfigure.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11886

I was the one who raised the question back then, but never actually got round painting that figure ... other stuff came in the way.... maybe now is the moment to try that technique, don't know ... might also try it your way as that really looks superb.

Oh btw, when you're reading this thread, please ignore the bullshit about Corona with Lemon I was young way back then

Grant lovely job with this one mate and i like your rendition of the denison smock, beret looks spot on for colour also.

The only thing bothering me is the fact he is an officer and he has a map, he wont have a clue what to do with it , hes better off passing it over to the platoon sergeant .

seriously though great job on this one mate,

Steve

Great paintwork Grant and the camo looks top!

Cheers,
Marcel.

very nice and the dennison looks great

Mark

So true Steve,
I went ultra real with him..that's why he's holding the map upsidedown!
