                        ok, i repainted my dead insurgent. right now though i dont like the color of his "skirt" and i dont like the color of his shirt!!! i need a good color to go with the black jacket and then a good color to go with both for the skirt. was thinking a green shirt..that at least goes with black...the skirt...maybe a grayish/brown...would love to paint it white...but my white skills are less than mediocre!!! any suggestions so i can finally finish this one and post it? thanks!!

                        I would say that I think that a grayish/brown skirt would be very cool, and some ideas for the white shirt, take a look through Osprey's modeling Fallishmirjager figures, it has a lot of information on white uniform painting. Not to mention, as an added plus, I got my copy for only 3.95!


                        Hope that helps, Jim.

                        hmmmm....well, i will have to look into that jim thanks. i went ahead and just painted the shirt a green with a bluish tint. doesnt look bad. if i was really adventurous, i would put some kind of stripes on it but...i think i will leave it solid! the "skirt" is still the issue! but maybe by later today i will be able to post finished pics on him.

                        Nice, I like the way the insurgents feet are placed, makes him look very... dead. So, good job man!

                        Looks nice to me, that first picture makes him look like he's actually not dead, but standing on a nice opera house stage singing a climactic lyric haha, but no, really, you did good on the gray, the colors don't stand out in a weird way, nicely done on this one camo, haha even if it is one figure at a time

                        Another good looking figure CJ!
                        I really can immagine him looking like the Fonz with the white shirt!

                        I don't like gore on figures or dios, but consider that this guy must have died of something and being in a firefight I'd exclude a heart attack, so I'd add a least a little blood maybe just some stains on the chest.

                        Oh haha no, sorry- no sarcasm on that one, the green and blue are both kind of a pastel/muted color, so even though one might not normally see that together, they both match, had the green been like a neon lime color or the blue been a dark navy, it might have looked weird, but you did a good job on some dusty looking "might have been nice back when they were new" clothes. If that makes more sense haha
