Thanks Ralph that does help explain it. I suppose a similar technique could be used to shade faces on 35mm figures. By using a light flesh colour as a base and then add a browny oil paint, do the 'Wax on Wax off' thing to get the shadows. Probably be as good as I could get in 1/35. I feel an experiment coming on :smiling3:

I'm beginning to think every model I make is an experiment, does anyone else keep a notebook during builds? I've started, mostly because my addled brain needs reminding about the subtleties and odd combinations. It'd make for odd reading to a non modeller!!

Brilliant! Works really well, and another reason for folks to get into using oil paints. This project is shaping up to be a bit special.

Actually yes, for the reasons you have stated John. Techniques, paint combinations etc, all in the little grey book on my desk.
