I've been making slow but steady progress on highlighting the Aussies.
I've got the flesh, uniforms and hats/berets done so far. That leaves the hair, webbing (plus gaiters and hat bands), boots, wood and metal still to do.
The highlights might look a bit bright right now, but they will be toned down when I give the figures a final coat of Strong Tone wash.
I'll be glazing the flesh with a mix of flesh, red and sepia washes.
In case you're wondering about the letters on the bases, they were to indicate which greens I used for base coats for when it came time to do the highlights.
Looking at the painting so far, these are going to look FANTASTIC! Go, Girl!
ReplyDeleteDon't mess with them Aussies
ReplyDeletePsst: Don't tell anyone else but I am starting to like painting 28mm

Fab work Tamsin
Well Done!
Really nicely done so far. If the whole lot ends up looking like this, you are going to have a corker of an army for sure.
ReplyDeleteNice progress! They do seem lovely looking models
ReplyDeleteThese look excellent. Looking forward to seeing them after the wash to compare the look.
ReplyDeleteLooking great Tamsin.
ReplyDeleteLooking great! I like to do exaggerated highlights and bring them into line with a wash as well.
