Hi Steve
Oil work like this, done well, is hard to beat. Looking great.

Oil dot filtering is something I've only just started playing with but do like the effect. I can see you've mastered the art very well here.

I'm convinced on the oils , that do look good Steve.

Hi Everyone

Fernando - I decided to keep the chipping to a minimum as most of the model will be covered in mud.
Nice of you to say Colin
Si - Good to have you along for the ride mate
The oil work is going on well this time Jim
As for the oil dot technique Colin I actually prefer to add and blend each colour individually and build up depth with different layers of oil work. Whichever way you decide to go you cant beat a good deal of oil coverage
Cheers Mr Race

Hi Steve
The build up of the effects is really nice. I particularly like the graduation of filters - top to bottom. Oils do need time to dry but the advantage is that you have plenty of time to adjust and refine
What do you use to seal in between layers?
This is most definitely going in the right direction.

Hi Everyone

Jim - I use W&N matt varnish. It gives a rock solid protection layer. However it does take a couple of days to dry fully
JR - One or two mate Wouldn't like to scratch build one
