Nice work JT - oil washes again?

Nice work JT - oil washes again?

thanks, I dont do any washes on figures. I just paint in lines with a good pointy brush I find it looks better and you can add in wrinkles or creases that are not molded there.

Another masterpiece to be proud of!  Nice touch with the red scarf... 

finished up . may tweak the dirt more when I place him his scene.

ALPINE figs are the best!  Outstanding job of painting!!!  My only critique is that the white camo pants look very stark, especially compared to the rest of the fig...I usually go with an off-white or light grey when I do snow-camo. These things got dirtied up quickly in the field and they weren't white for very long...

I painted the exact same fig (far right):

What types of paint and brushes do you use?

Acrylic craft paints? For real?

Outstanding work!

thanks!, I wasn't sure with the white pants, I was trying to keep them from turning grey from shading lol, I could always add a filter of a light brownish tone to them.

 you got a nice group of dudes there, the Alpine figs are nice but a bit pricy I got this one cause it was on sale lol

for paints I use these. just craft paint.  sometimes I use some oil color but just cheap paint there to.

I use this one brush for everything. its a #0  I picked it up at my local hardware store even cheap brushes work well just gotta take care of the tip.

So you just eyeball everything and mix your own colors?

That, unfortunately, is a skill I do not have!

Just goes to show that it isn't always the tools and supplies but the person who has the most control of the outcome...veeeeery nice figure painting here...

lol yes I use the calibrated eyeball for everything.

thanks again guys

James, check your PM's...

wow.. very nice job ..

Super job James! I've always found acrylic paints easier to work with than oils too, I just need a good bit more practice with them though. 

Not only impressive, but you've managed to capture the SS camou colours beautifully!
