I concur here Stephen, anyway the uniform would be dusty with some under arm sweat stains perhaps - but in scale presentation one can overdo it and spoil the effect even forcing the piece to look badly painted, the effect is just about right - little is more.

Stephen,
Beautiful painted bust and I like the mud mark around the eyes of the goggles.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Micheal, I totally agree( not with the winning part ).

Steve

Tony,I'm humbled.Thanks.

For those interested,here's the tunic mix.I kep it fairly simple.

Base is AV 978 dark yellow.
H/L is base + AV819 Iraqi sand
1st L/L is base + AV888 Olive grey
2nd L/L is L/L + black.

Over this a lot of washes with base were applied at various stages. i hope this helps

Hi Stephen,

On a more serious note, this is really a brilliant job.

The pics however seem to show the uniform with a satin sheen. Is it the lighting or due to the Vallejo paints? I've had this problem of sheen with certain colours and wonder if its due to insufficient mixing of the paint.

i like the mud amd also uniform

super!!

Basil, it's totally the fault of my crappy pics. I never get the lighting right and I end up with these hiccups

Steve

Excellent Steve!

I like the goggle 'imprint' and uniform colours particularly!
Thanks for the colour mixes!

Cheers,
Adrian
