Very well done, Rocco. Especially with an older kit such as this. I like the understated way you presented the pelt. Any chance you can give a quick SBS on your palette you used for this?
Cheers
Paul

Fine Job Rocco. The colors are very vibrant. Hope to see this at MFCA next year.

Walt Damon

Roc, great work as usual. I hope I'll be able to see it in person in May.

Stephen Mallia

Good work, Roc. The groundwork is typical of the great flat plains of much of Poland!

Paul thanks.

I used the dry brush technique using Apple Barrel acrylic paints, they are inexpensive and can be purchased at AC Moore or Michael's.
Dry brushing is very tedious; you must be very patient when using this technique.


A- Undercoated the entire pelt with Apple Barrel Territorial Beige to which I added a little Chestnut.
B- Dry brushed the entire pelt with Territorial Beige.
C- First highlight -Dry brushed territorial beige to which I added some white.
D--second highlight - first highlight to which I added more white.
E- Continued the highlight process by progressively adding more white to previous highlight color
F-Blending between the colors is done by dry brushing with previous mix.
F- The Spots were done in oil using a basic mixture of Burnt Umber , Prussian Blue and Magenta to which I added a little Naples yellow for the highlights.

I hope this helps.

Cheers and a happy 2007.
Roc
