ye olde look is always tough, as with any 'weathering' i usually use a thin dark wash as NO 6 recommneds, but i find figure painting tough too, a thin wash helps build up the shadows, and takes the 'fresh new' look away, but No ^ is obviusly a master figure painter !
easier to weather a building IMHO !

Can i just add its nice to see your useing the trusty blue tack to hold your pieces in place, i thought i was the only one who used it!

iv always used Tamiya XF-15 (Flat flesh)

it never looks quite right when you apply it, but when it drys it brings out all the detail and turns out quite a nice colour

will it work on a 1/35 scale?

rjwood_uk · 29-12-2007

yes although you dont really have to do as many shades to highlight, lowlight...etc

1/48 really only 3 shades are needed, lowlight, the actual colour and highlight

hi guys new to the forums here. NO 6 very informative thread mate. some very useful tips there. technical for painting flesh i in the past have used white and then mix in a bit of red and a bit of flesh until i get the right consistency that im after it all depends on what look your going for and what kind of skin tone your after too. if your going for a darker colour try some brown shades mixed in . its not an exact science just experiment.
