I don't do many figures... but here we go anyway. Progress and 2 figs that will be added to my Panther vignette. 1 ability I do not have is look at something... a color... and say, "OK, I need bottles of this, this and this to make THAT." So I have to follow a "recipe". This one made the faces reddish. Although I will say I do notice that on some figures. Had no clue how to do the white coat so I just covered with a dark oil and wiped of to leave the recesses "shadowed". I am looking at it and thinking it might have been better to do that with a grayish color instead of brownish. Advise/critiques welcome...always ;D I will add that I plan to change the color of the scarf to a gray.  |

Very nice figs, Marc  And I agree with your choice of making the scarf grey, it'll stand out much more that way |

Thanks guys. Whenever I do a figure I am always amazed at the amount of colors needed. I must 20 bottles of Vallejo on my bench just now. Mix here, mix there, a dab of this, Thin that, now thin is more, and more again, make that darker, now make the other part lighter. Jeez Louise! Hence the... many tanks... few bases on the shelf ;D
