~~~Got some more done along the same lines ---Adding Highlights, and a 1st go at some edging definition on flesh areas with the red-brown wash. AGAIN...nothings finished...but well on it's way now .............
 
 


These Warriors' figures are taking the pain {ah..er...paint} pretty well
Mostly I'm just working to get the skintones smooth(while retaining high contrast!)
 
 

 

You can see above how much I've tried to  leave as highlight following the cheekbones in this near-profile You can also see the definition in his 'pop-eye' arms, flexing with the weight of the Brengun.
 

While placing highlights I like to get the lightest color in place on each knuckle(particularly with light falling from above. In this case, the hightlight is small, only on the updfacing'ledge'. While I'm at it I use the lightest highlight colour to place the fingernails(where visable) and later, will finish them when I have the pinkish tones going, doing the lips and such. (Instant digital photos are such a boon to detail-hunting...they really show where you got it right and wrong.....like where that nail on the index finger got too wide---since been touched up---not quite visable before--oh brother!))


 
This has got to the easiest figure I've ever tried to paint! We all know that the Alpine figures are great, but this one seems to paint itself....just breezy--I really understand how it got so popular!Never started off as a resin-snob...I love whats available in injection moulded kits---but man the end result of a nice resin figures cannot be beat! You gotta paint like Rembrant to get these results with plastic.


Still haven't decided on his cap color yet....... they could be black, sand or even green. Likely I'll go with faded black.
 

~Sean Penn here had been really fun to paint as well..and has smoothed-out only slightly with the lights. Even with the heavy squint I'll later have to try to show his eyes...I wonder how his expression will be altered though................

I build as an homage and of as a means to see the parts of story little or never seen.
~Adam Kuller
 
 

Here you can see my Dragon/Hornet Hybrid Tommygunner coming along a bit. Highlights have been placed and even blended somewhat. Some areas of muscle in the original feature-less legs have been defined. Another sitting with him will include washes into dark areas and final highlights.
 
 

I have decided to heavily portray sunlight shadows in some cases and that can be seen here to the extreme. I like to paint with high-contrast and move towards blending later.
 

Still in mid-process here, and sorry I didn't think to get the photo light values matched here, but you can see particularly on the neck how I've gone from drastic contrast to a blend by adding thin layers. Below some work to his hands:
 
 
 
 
 

Similar work going on with this chap.
 

A bit of a blur I know, but it's working to my advantage at this stage  That dark area at the join of the ankle and sock must be carefully worked with the reddish-brown wash, as those small shadows inside  tend to be importaint in the end.
 
 
Again....plenty more to come...........................

~So here's the chap above--swung around--- I know his head is largely in shadow in this pic, but I really just wanted to show the work on arms & legs-- relatively overlooked areas even on some really well-done work-----to show how, before taking time to try to perfect over-all skin tones, I'm attempting to better define these features in the limited DML parts in particular.
 
 

At this point I've expanded my palette to include the same Med. to Med-Dark colours I had been using plus lights :
60/40 %(or there-abouts) Sunny Skin Tone & 003 Glossy White
75/25 % Sunny Skin Tone & 003 Glossy White
020Sunny Skin Tone
019 Dark Flesh,
024 Medium  Flesh ,
80 / 20 %   147 Leather Brown & 150 German Camo Black Brown 
70 /30 %  German Camo Blk Brn & Leather Brn
A wash of German Camo Black Brown with a few drops of 028 Vermillion
All thinned again using Distilled water & Vallejo thinner

 
As an aside, I've base-painted the personal equipment using varried, thin versions of the uniform khaki, to get across some of the common differences in color from the start.

~~Not having nearly enought time to get back into the 'flesh paint' yet- and not yet wanting to pour the palette out for it yet---and needing to define the complex legwear of the desert Tommy(having no leg-painting experience) I got some base coats onto those areas


I'd noticed(although colour-references are rare) that the only items of O.D. green  likely found on these Gents would be there long socks(unless they had the fashionable matching woven gloves) Likely an easier way but I mixed the O.D. with Vallejo 169 Black + 015 Flat Yellow (the recipe for O.D. !) plus in this case a little  #120 Buff to lighten(Likely be my highlight color later too)


Just to define the footwear I used 2 washes of #150 German Camo Black Brown. These Ammo Boots we're black, but in the end that's so muted by dust it's tuff to tell. I just wanted to start this way to try to retain the shallow details of the boots--and now I can see my scratched hobnail detail! Zip it!
 


The putties color was some sort of yellowish-buff mix, but is again, just a base color--made a bit bright to try to retain some yellow to it, but again, will end up dusty. I also layed in paint to the pack-straps, belts, & harness to each figure using varriations of sand, khaki and buff, as this equipment tended to be a bit mix&match between lots. These items should be similar to uniforn colors, and will be further defined later on.
 
Plenty more to come................................

A basic layout of colors for the iconic Alpine Panzer Commander *(his tank now a wreck, has joined this gunteam to act as spotter) This was the very 1st figure built for "Clash", a few months before the rest.
 
 

I often don't find that I like the heads seperate for painting, maybe I just don't like handling & gluing the heavily worked parts....but sometimes it's essential, like this guy. (His awful-sour expression is coming right out with a little paint.
 
 

"It's casual" My highly custom "laconic German gunlayer" , will sport the sand coloured blazer and now in vogue Euro-putties--no accounting for taste 
 
 

His loader, no arguement , the hardest-working mug in this unit, will have his over-worked image enforced by a particularly heavy beard on his gaunt face.
 

"The skeptic" There's one in every group. This head seems made to take paint  One of the funner jobs.
 
 
~Could be the "Skinny Kid" doesn't even know enough to be really scared!
 

Ok ..that's about it for base-paint, foundations, and middle colours. Time to really get into things .

~ Sometimes...when I feel really driven to get something done.....I like to look down at my little kitty, and think about life where not much matters, or botheres me...
 
Cat don't care
 
 
 
Continuing along with my Medium to Medium-Dark Fleshtones.....
 

Again...i'm working to bring up the features...but not too worried about getting everything perfect at this early stage, in fact going pretty rapidly.
 

~I'm also not interested yet in personalizing anybodys' personal skintones....plenty of time later for rosey cheeks & 5 O'clock shadows. Just sticking to foundational stuff. I do tend to use the tip of working the left side and then the right (being right handed) during each pass, or layer, so I can see well the semmetry being created (or not!)
 
 
" OH HOLD STILL!!    It Doesn't Hurt!!!"
 
 


I am at this stage trying to build on the sculpt a little though. The right hand above is an example. I've blocked in colours , quickly, to build on the features that should be there, but without stopping to try to blend much, as there's not much point in it without the real dark and light tones, yet to come.
 
 
One thing I've learned is I need to paint the boots pretty much last---even mounted on a block I tend to rub the paint off of them as I work.

This guy started reminding me of Sean Penn a little (don't say it Schnobs!)
 
 
 
 
 
One seems to want 'in' but can't get there. The other seems to want 'out' but can't manage that either.  ....Somehow I'm not inclined to feel like "that" is very importaint right now

The next phase, for me,  after blocking in the uniform areas, is to go back to the skin, and really get to work the face & hands & in this case...well....knees....by  first blocking in a medium flesh tone, and then working it in from medium to medium-dark.
 

I don't really need a full palette  at this stage--that's just too much to try to do all at once, especially with this many figures I'm working in a row. Above is what works for me--a small cigar tin full of bottlecaps(save your caps!--if you drink beer or pop--drink it out of a bottle and collect the caps!! They are awsome for this--the Missus puts them in the dishwasher basket for me  and into my collection)
   For this stage in the palette is Vallejo
019 Dark Flesh,
024 Medium  Flesh ,
80 / 20 %   147 Leather Brown & 150 German Camo Black Brown 
70 /30 %  German Camo Blk Brn & Leather Brn
 
All mixed down to 'feel' with Distilled Water
 

First I block-in the most medium shades of flesh using....well .....Medium Flesh! I use a fine 6/0 liner to draw out alot of the features, saving the areas of the dark wash in most cases, as they define the sculpt(and the coming paintjob) I also use a very typical choice of a  #0 Round brush doing this, and a few other larger brushes to smooth out the larger areas to avoid build-up anywhere.
 

The next step involves all four colors in my tin(and some intermixing in some cases) At this point, things begin to take shape and I thank Andy Mitchell for nudging me to order the Hornet Heads for this!! The face has a somewhat 'digitized' look at this point, and is far from complete....but the importaint features are all readable, even if I don't worry about being entirely accurate about everything at this stage.
 
 
 
Thin layers of the darker skin colours are layed into shadow areas, actually softening the work of the original washes....but also blending some with the larger areas. Last step is to add basically the first highlight with   the Dark Flesh, which is just slightly brighter than the Medium.


I paint all the areas of flesh as I work each figure--nothing worse than having to try to match your work later and having the legs not match the arms! Part of what makes this stage quick and effective for me is I actually do some wet in wet blending with the acrylics . YES...it can be done--no you don't have time for alot of manipulation, but as I don't need perfect colour placement at this early stage...I can use it to get far along in the shading process in just a few minutes. It helps to have multible brushes in hand for this--one for each color and another clean one to blend.
 


That kneecap will need some defining later with highlights (and widening) but not bad considering it didn't exist at all a few minutes ago.
 
 
Here is another of the Desert Rats taken to this stage. I got all six to this point in one evenings time....
 
.......and it gets better.day by day...................

Chapter Next - Painting the Figures
 
Gents......The work has begun. Things at the shop have really picked up and I seem to be getting home later all the time lately...but I make sure to devote at least some time to working on "Clash" everyday
  Upon taking on the painting of the fourteen(14) figures for this Dio, I picked them all up and considered them all again(CLOSELY) to ensure I'd removed any offending parting lines, rough spots, or pits, ect.............and as soon as I began adding basecoats, many of those imperfections made themselves known ! And so since have attempted to quadrupal-check everything...none-the-less, no doubt something will squeek by
 
 
Way back,     when I completed each figure ......it was carefully and completely primed using Tamiya Dark Yellow. Several days ago(prior to really sitting down to begin painting) I used a number of  washes, made of Windser&Newton Burnt Sienna and Van *** Brown Oil paint in white spirit----over all the flesh areas, to bring out every little nuance of the features.
 
 

~One application does a fairly nice job of it if you've mixed the wash right, but several selective applications can be an easy way to set off features. Afterward, I lets these areas dry several days--(likely much more than needed) to play it safe, {as oil and I are still at odds} Although I tend to mainly work in acrylics, this is a tremendously excellent way to begin, which many painters use, but I credit Mark Bannerman's superb tutorials on Missing Lynx with showing me.
 
So much has been written on the subject of figure painting, and in the interests of having so much ground to cover with this figure painting job--I do not intend to do a blow by blow with each mini-man, but since I've tried to log a very complete build here, I hope to present this phase in a thorough enough way that the subject is not glossed-over, and I can show my way of doing things, both  the common and unique.
 

After treating the flesh areas of all 14 figures  in this same way, I began with the Brits, blocking in the base colours of thier fatigues. I like to have base colors on everything before I complete the heads, as there's just too much paint being flicked-around for my liking during that. I also have found it's better to have the base colors everywhere before attaching personnal equipment, or I've found there's always missed spots. For these uniform colors I've made varied mixes of  Vallejo 004 Off White, 116 Middllesone, & 304 Track Primer(from Panzer Aces series)   The standard battle-dress trousers that two of the  Desert Rats  are wearing, we're based with 141 English Uniform, lightened with 120 Buff. The Lee Enfield rifles got two thin coats of Tamiya XF-9 Hull Red to start--
 
 

Plenty left to do, but it's starting to get fun !
          
                More to come..........................................................Indy

~Jet~ Thanks Big time Buddy---no, not the same--it's all in the text, but basically the Opel was a much more complex paint job--one of the most involved I've done...considering the  extent of the base-paints, chipping effects and other weathering, numerous dust treatment,ect. This gun was a fairly quick job by comparison and involved little weathering besides a couple layers of dust.

~Luftiger~ Hey man--I really appreciate those comments--and yeah, I think the groundwork is likely my favorite part of building---good thing for a Dio guy, huh//? Liquatex is just a popular brand of artist paints, famous for thier acrylics(of which I have many) and also thier acrylic peripheral products such as paint additives---but sorry--I mis-spoke mentioning it--I meant to say W&N Liquid mask---I had some of the Liquatex brand mask but used it up--nearly the same product--honestly the W&N is a bit easier to work with.

Work has started on the figures--post regarding that is coming---glad you enjoy the thread!

~BoB~  My friend you have a way with word.    thanks!

Really awesome dio, your a master with the groundwork, which is something i always struggle with.

What is liquidtex?, not seen that stuff arround.

I think your camo job is perfect, turned out better than what i think silly putty will do.

Close to being done i should think, unless you've not started on any of those figs, and if
i remember there was alot of em.

Anyway you done such a subperb job at documenting this dio, that you could have a book just on this!Bow Down

 ~Painting The 7.5 cm Pak 40

 ~Yes.. it's been a while......
~Not wanting to worry about the finish on the fieldgun as I moved it around quite alot during the base-build, I saved painting and weathering it until now.

~You may remember my Dragon Pakgun from the 1st chapter (I know it's been a while! Sad) I had it completely assembled, base-coated with Tamiya TS-46 Light Sand & a few coats of Future applied.

 
To get some interesting camoflage into the scene, I'm going to portray a Tropin  two-color Camo of a gun likely headed originally to the nearby Mediterranean,  that was diverted to defend a not-quite-overwith Axis presence in Tunisia.
 

 
Above I've masked-off the sand-coloured stripes using the Liquid masking Fluid again(I was considering using the popular silly putty metheod, but with all the delicate little parts on this piece I wasn't sure about that stuff, I just have mre experience/ confidence in the latex. To continue with my norm( of trying to show how to do some common things a bit differently  Wink) I began by spraying a much lighter, brighter color 1st, This colour was a mix of Tamiya XF-58 Olive Green, XF-57 Buff & alcohol
 
  


~~And then misted on a darker blue-green seen in my reference, made of a mix of Tamiya  XF-18 Medium Blue &XF-52 Olive green
 


The paints we're lightly applied to avoid build-up along the mask
  


~Although the green is a pretty close match--the sand color I used is alot more lively than seen in the reference shot--(which shows more of a grey-biege, but it looked a bit sickly with my groundwork colours  in trials and I took some liberties to tweek it a bit--)-still, it does get a bit closer after weathering.
 


Weathering included first and over-all glaze of Pollyscale clear gloss mixed with s small amount of both Tamiya Buff & Deck Tan to unify the camo and represent some old road dust too.  After drying several hours this was followed  with a gritty-looking dark wash of Floquil Engine Black & Tuscan. This brought out some small details and imparted a grimy look.
 
 

Above It's very close, I'm just applying some final touches with pigment powders, and picking-out some detail items with Tamiya paints. The Tires(painted seperately) where drybrushed with Floquil paints in the same way you say on the Kubelwagon, and the treads loaded with sand by way of a sludge-wash. A few other details we're dealt with in ways consistaint with those earlier in  this blog.
      Since this fieldpiece is supposed to be only around a month old in the story my Dio tells, there is minimal scratches, no rust or missing parts, but there is a great deal of dust & grime.
 
~More pictures to follow~~~~

 


Some more images of the completed Pak 40
 

 

Bare steel areas depicted with my old favorite mixes of Testors Enamels, Steel, Bright Silver, & Black  thinned with white spirits
 
 
Very minimal paint scratches hand painted with Vallejo Camo Black Brown and a very fine liner brush.
 

 
 
I did take some liberties with the colors as seen here, but I think the over-all look is still right, considering I'm dipicting frairly fresh paint--and  the look on the Dio (not showing yet ) seems to be very good


 
~Work has already started with the grip of figures...updates up soon ........
        thanks for reading along Gents.............

~Steve~ Sounds good Man--godd luck with the house! That's awsome.

~BoB~ Big Smile Thank you Man--you say the nicest things!

~Jet~ Right on, thanx <---

UPDATE---


~~After a number of days with the liquid frisket in place on the porous rock, & covered in layers of glue, sand, & paint....the latex was a bit well-stuck-on...& took a good deal of time to remove. It had done it's job very well though and stayed in position without fail everywhere.
 

To remove the mask, I used tweezers & needle-tipped pliers, to grab the maximum area at once. In some places the stuff refused to lift, and needed a little roughing-up with a wire-brush, which worked fine on the bare rock surface.
 

Here's the painted base after unmasking the rock, and just after beginning to add some various powdered pigment  to blend and in other places break up  excesss continuity.
 
 

You can see some subtle color changes introduced here, as well as some rock-chips in strategic places. More will come as a last step, along with a few signs of plant life.
 

The scale-size of the sand is not perfect, but it's partly depending on where your focus is,
 

The base is essentially finished
 

I thought this might be a little fun....
 

Then I tried these  .......  works for me.
 
 
Hope you guys like it too...........

Good choice for the sand. The beach sand looked larger than the other sand did. I really like the side of the base.
