Now to find a source for Vallejo!<br /><br />Thanks again, looking forward to watching your progress!<br /> ~ Tom T~ Tom Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171232289009046196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-57675824835239245412010-02-03T08:20:42.542-08:002010-02-03T08:20:42.542-08:00Tom:

Then I gave it a light wash of Vallejo Flesh Ink/Stain. After the wash/stain is dry, I went over the highlights (like the nose, cheeks and chin) with Flesh mixed with a little white again. For the hair (over the same Flesh-white base) I used Vallejo Flesh Ink/Stain mixed with a little Black Ink/Stain. I didn't paint the eyes - the flesh ink/wash takes care of this. You could if you wanted to, but slows down the process too much and not really noticeable for gaming IMO. Also, if you wanted to you could add a little red to the flesh-white and paint a little of this on the cheeks and lips - if you wanted to add more detail. Again, for gaming, not really noticeable.

Lov 'em!<br /><br />What colors are you using for flesh??? It looks good and I'd like to use the same.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /> ~ Tom T~ Tom Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171232289009046196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-50029156406229678272010-02-01T14:37:53.779-08:002010-02-01T14:37:53.779-08:00Thanks for the tips - it's certainly put paint...Thanks for the tips - it's certainly put painting into a new perspective for me and I'll probably approach it a little differently!<br /><br />I agree that your Napoleonics are probably the best painted i've seen!<br /><br />Thanks for following the Macedonian blog - much appreciated!Consulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697053824770819630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-49609913221131629212010-02-01T08:27:08.476-08:002010-02-01T08:27:08.476-08:00Jason:

Starting with the clothes you'd wear closest to the body and working your way out. It doesn't always work though - for instance, I dry-brushed the epaulettes first, so if I did the uniform first, I would've gotten some of the dry-brush work on the jacket. In reality, the epaulettes could go on after the jacket. Same as the shakos, I painted the plates and chinscales first, then the black for the shako itself - in reality, the plates and chinscales would go on last. Hope this helps explain "inside out." You see I'm back into Sharp Practice again :) DeanDeanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724268555970663130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-76524608906994631982010-02-01T02:47:48.397-08:002010-02-01T02:47:48.397-08:00Great work so far, cant wait to see the finished u...Great work so far, cant wait to see the finished unit.<br /><br />Can you clarify what you mean by painting from the inside out?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Consul.Consulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697053824770819630noreply@blogger.com
