Steve - Morning. Vallejo colour titles can be hilarious, though they have improved my Spanish. Another grey day and grey palette - on to the legs today.
I used Vallejo Medium Camo Green dulled with a little black brown for the trousers to try and get a different shade of field grey. I did the same with Deep Green for the gaiters, and the boots were done with mixes of Leather Brown and Saddle Brown.
Pleased that you like the colour difference and that it works for you. On to his gear today and I've decided to go with the kit MP44 and ammo pouch combo, as it is a better fit. The short days and poor light are a real pain for someone who doesn't like working under artificial light. At least it means that my wife is happier that I spend less time modelling - she's fully retired now and is keeping an eye on me.
Lost for words for a change.How you turn plastic figures into this sort of work is spellbinding mate.The colour tones are top drawer.The equipment is particularly eyecatching Pierre.

Steve - Katherine would only be happy if I gave up the hobby - ''All that time sitting at the table can't be good for you. No wonder you get headaches.'' etc etc. The torso had quite marked recesses for the MP44 ammo pouches and the kit ones were nicely curved to fit, so that's why I used them in the end. Should get him finished today, though seem to be suffering a bout of 'flu, so we'll see.
Today I finished the personal gear then added the guns and straps. Once I'd stuck him to the base I did some weathering with pastels to get the two to blend and to dirty up his clothes a bit..
