Thanks! Hope it's helpful!

Here is a little work on making a weathered leather jacket. As with everything it is painted with Vallejo acrylic's.

That's just insane man! That's really all i can say

Do you have to thin the Vallejo acyrlics or can you use them right from the bottle? Will defiantly be following this one.

Sorry to not get this answered quicker. I use Distill Water to thin all my paints. The Vallejo Game Air paints are pretty thin and you do not have to thin these because these were designed to use in the airbrush. I hope this helps.

Sorry to not have posted much but here is the finished figure. This will be a SBS on painting the dark skin in a future issue of Fine Scale.  I hope that you like it and that you can get something out of the article. My goal was to make the pilot look like a seasoned veteran.

That looks really good.  Far better than I have ever done.

I do, however, have one question, and hate to bring it up at this point.

I'm curious...

Are you sure about the color of the uniform hat and pants?  What I'm seeing is a pair of pants that looks to be a sort of gray/green color and a hat that has a red brim, brown chin strap, a tan area above that and the same gray/green for the cloth top.

I thought the hats had a black brim and strap with a shade of O.D. for the top, and the pants should be a shade of O.D., green, or even tan.  My Father's flight suit was/coveralls are tan and I'm pretty sure his wheel cap was much like I have described.

Joe, you have done a fantastic job on this figure. There wouldn't be a Tuskegee Airman that wouldn't be proud of your work.

Thank you very much! I hope they would like it because I am planning on donating him to their museum next year after I take him to one show.

Will the article discuss how you painted the clothing? The jacket and Mae West look awesome

 

Thank you. Unfortunately the article will only be on the flesh but if you have any questions , I'd be glad to try and answer it for you.
