Hi guys,

First couple of hours done last night - a long way to go, yet, with loads of refining and glazes to add. Basic skintones added, with initial shadows and highlights. All painted in Vallejo acrylics.

Thanks for looking

Definitely a lesson in painting skin tones and white, looking forward to the end result. Nice sculpt by the way mate

Cheers
Steve

Cheers mate - yes, a bit of a tester, to say the least!! Im breaking out my wet palette for the first time

Brilliant Steve.
Very well done Sir
Keith

Thank you, Keith - more glazes to be added tonight!!

Looking forward to tomorrow Mate

May be very late on, tonight.......!!

Progress, so far. Almost there, apart from the detailing and yet more washes on the flesh areas. I will wait to see what it looks like in daylight before adding more! No white used, as yet - maybe for the extreme highlights...... On to the basing!

Cheers guys. Nap - the trousers were base coated in Vallejo Deck Tan, then moved through various lighter colours including Silver Grey, Ivory and Off White. Similar with the vest, starting with Sea Grey, then ending up with White Grey, so far - but maybe will need a bit of White on the extreme highlights. Ive tried to get a subtle variation on the white, but it's been a real tester!!

Taking shape very nicely Steve
Keith

Almost on the home straight with this. Still base work to finish, addition of "The Oasis" sign to the gate frame, some small tufts, wire, etc and a final touch up and nameplate - but progressing, slowly!!

Thanks for looking

Fantastic realism Mate.
Really great progress.........Press on!!
Keith

Thanks Keith! Glad you like it
