    Hello Friends

    after the pilot we change of half and we spend from the sky to the depths, with a submarine commandant during the second world war (keeping great resemblance with the main character of the movie Das-Boot) the bust is of Andrea miniatures and its scale 1/10.
    It is composed of four pieces the bust with the head, the cap these elements in resin and the binoculars and the iron cross in lead.

    beginning the painting with the eyes of blue color.
    The painting of the iris you begins with the color but dark that is blue green 808 with enough quantity of black but brown chocolate, to this base are added but green blue, then green blue (pure) and two or three ascents adding clear meat, he/she puts on makeup the retina and the point of shine with clear meat.

    Continuing with the color of the skin in their layer bases.

    English uniform 921 + brown clear 929 of vallejo to 50% adding some citadel red blood, later leaves adding tan meat of citadel until finding the wanted skin tone, one can also add a tiny piece of black to put the skin but moraine for the sun, this base doesn't take black.
