    I've almost finished this 120mm Para from S&T. I need to touch up around the sleeve joints. Painted in Valejo, with the uniform in Lifecolour. On this I've tried to go for more contrast than I normally do, please tell me what you think.
    Carl.

    The extra contrast has definitely worked Carl and very nice groundwork.

    Even though a large fig, I like the higher contrast on this one as well. How does Lifecolor compare to the Valejos ?

    He really looks good. For me this is your best painting that I have seen. I would like to know where you got the big tufts of grass. if they are fred-rex what is the name of them?

    Thanks and good job!

    I agree with Mike, perhaps your best piece to date Carl. The higher contrast really seems to make this figure pop, without being too much. The groundwork is excellent mate, well done.

    Thanks to everyone for the encouraging words. This is the first figure that I've used Life colour on, and I like them. I don't think that they're as opaque as Vallejo, and don't dry as flat, but that problem was easily solved with a touch of Tamiya flat base.
    Thanks again,
    Carl.

    Come come Grant, it could have been any number of water products. :Dhttp://www.resin-supplies.co.uk/Pricelist.htm#GLASS%20CLEAR%20CASTING%20RESIN
    Good stuff, but the P&P is a bit moody.
    Cheers all,
    Carl.
