Thanks G, nice work there on the Baron and the tank tools! I'll give the Tamiya clear orange a look.
I'm mostly happy with how the figures face is turning out. It's just I'm using Vallejo paint, which I normally use on faces. It's not formulated for airbrushing. I looked at Vallejo's website over lunch and they have listed acrylic retarder, which makes the paint dry a little slower. I had a LOT of paint buildup on the tip, and the brush kept clogging up. I have some retarder at home I'm going to give a try.
The cheeks and chin I mostly airbrushed, which is little hard to see in the photos, and I'm very happy with how they turned out. I'm just not sure if there should be a little more contrast. The brow ridges, nose, divot between the upper lip and nose I brush painted, which I was going to spray a little thinned down paint to dull down the contrast. The Tamiya clear orange may be just the thing here.
It's kinda annoying since I normally do only men. If they're a little rough and beaten-up looking it works.
In any case if I don't like it I can just repaint the whole thing.
Thanks guys, I just need a poke every now and then to keep me moving in the right direction.
