Hello folks, i have made some progress on my grenadiers.
All base colors have been applied.
for the fur hat : base is German camo black/brown with a dab of leather brown.
As for the facing in crimson i use the prior mis and gave it a little wash of Winsor & Newton Alizarin Crimson.
The base for the skintone is Panzer aces flesh base.
hope you guys like it.
Cheers

Looking great as always.... Keep posting progress.
The fur and the red will look fantastic

Colin

Thanks Colin.
the windsor & newton Crimson gives it a nice vivid tone to the colors while the Vallejo and Andrea reds tend to be a little muted.

True, thats why I add yellows to Vj reds to highlight... seems to brighten them up some. Vj Dark Red as a shadow is also very rich instead of dulling down the base red tone will browns. The slung pelisse on the Chasseur is an example.
I really have to try oils soon to broaden my pallette

Colin

Hmm...oils... i am afraid i will mess up my figures lol.
Perhaps one day i will try oils, for now i have so many bottles of acrylic and they keep coming

Is that W&N crimson not an oil?

Nope ,it is W&N acrylic ,permanent Alizarin Crimson,try it,you wouldn't be dissapointed .

I've used artists acrylics to paint wall murals but never used it on figures... I'll try anything once

Careful with that lol!
