    Well after not painting for well over a year, I decided to give it a try again. I really enjoyed sitting down and giving it a go. It is going to take me a while to get comfortable painting. It feels like am starting over. Let me know what you think.

    Not much to brutally critique on that one to my eyes. I think it looks very good, the whites are really cool.

    Nap,
    For the whites it is all acrylic, Panzer Aces German White Tank Crew for the base, Vallejo Off White / White highlights and German Grey for the shadows.

    From the looks of this figure, you haven't lost your touch. I personally have to relearn my techniques whenever I take a long break.


    I’m an oiler so I see the facial tones might need some feathering in, a little more blending in the cheek area to a smoother transition down the side of the face, but the white and black look good from here.

    Thanks Steve

    I agree the transitions on the flesh colors could use some improvement.
