I can only see one problem...............he's not breathing, otherwise, bloody fantastic.

Great work so far, it looks really well, nice colors and well achieved colors for the uniform and helmet. Great face.

Hi Ian...as I have previously commented absolutely stunning...looks better with each post.. Mike

Ian:

By chance, do you know what mixes Gerard used? Spot on grey/khaki

Paul

Absolutely superb painting; makes me want to toss my brushes away on the one hand and on the other hand to stop what I am working on and start working on mine.

Hi guys thanks for the comments it's good to know mick range will be well recived. Paul I don't know the mix but I will ask him for you and get back to you. I know he paint's in acrylic but well ask him for the mix.

Beautifull work.

Thanks Ian

Hi guys, really glad you like it
As requested here are (more or less ) the mixes used:

- base: Vallejo 70614 IDF Israelí Sand
(that color is polyurethane acrylic, supposedly not designed to be thinned or diluted, but works perfectly mixed with other regular acrylics, or diluted with vallejo glazing mediums)

- Light:Mig 038 Light Wood
- glazes for intermediate lights/shadows: Ak 3082 ww1 British uniform lights
- shadows: Ak ww1 british uniform shadow
- Extreme shadows: Ak 3123 russian uniform shade (or any dark drab green)

Hope it helps,
Cheers

Gerard

Beautiful as always from your talented hand gerard,I always think a well painted box art will work Improve sales,this one looks really nice and will be popular for Ian and his team,congratulations

It's so hard to paint a drab khaki colour and make it interesting...I have tried and failed on many occasions, this one works a treat!
