Where does the yellow ocre come into play? You show an initial mix of Raw Umber and White, but do not have that Raw Umber listed in your four colors?  

Carlos, thanks for catching that error I made; I'm so used to saying "Raw Umber" in Armor modeling that I muffed that up!

I've since corrected it...the Yellow Ochre is just a variable to make for a slightly palers tone, if you desire. I add like, a mosquito turd of it tomy mix, sometimes not at all. You can pretty much get what you need with just the Raw Sienna and WHite. Smile

Well I completely stink at figures, so I'll have to give this a try. Especially since I have a few figures coming up.

Thanks.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Hi guys,

Well, I might've put this in "Figures", but I figure that it would be appropo for the Armor forum, since it deals with my S51 post figures, and I promised to do one here. It's intended to be a simple and quick method to get a good skin tone for figures, NOT an in-depth "How-To". The figures have been first primed, and I always do faces/hands FIRST, and touch up if needed after the clothing is painted..

I tried to make it quick to read too, so here we go; 'nuff talkin'!

Pretty much that does it. Questions are welcomed, and comments to add to the technique or materials used are welcome as well. You can never have enough tips and advice! Big Smile
