Beard blocked in , so will now start on the flesh highlights and shadows

Highlights added to the left of sharkeys face

Both sides have highlights applied, shadows next followed by various glazes.

Shadows and glazes added to the face.




Need to tone down the red on his nose down a little

Calling the face done, don't want to mess to much more, else I will really mess it up. Did a bit more blending, added a bit of a dark glaze around his cheeks. Matt varnish on his face, semi and then gloss on his eyes and lips and a couple of spots of gloss for a bit of sweat. After a long patrol, it must have been melting inside that immersion suit.

A very nice face that Mr B. Looking great.

Cheers Mr.D

Thanks

Found a Mk3c helmet for sale with a load of reference images, so should help in getting all the little bits painted in the right colours;

The helmet with its reflective tape , makes it easier to see i suppose, god forbid, in search and rescue efforts.



So how best to portray this on the figure, I could paint the stripe, after some masking but it wouldn't be 3 dimensional, so got out some masking tape and tried some 2mm 2mm, 3mm and 4mm. 3mm is about right, but painting it would be a pain. I rememberedTamiya make compound masking tape , for curves, in a white gloss material. So some 3mm tape has been ordered.

Looking really nice Steve!

Cheers,
Ken

Face and 'Bone Dome' completed. All the little details on the helmet painted according to reference images. Reflective strip from Tamiya curved masking tape

Excellent work, Steve!
