Hi Dan, thanks. Base colour vallejo Orange/Brown. Yellow Ochre added to the O/B over several stages for highlighting then flat yellow added to this mix for final highlights in the centre and edges. A very dilute mix of Red Leather and glaze medium was painted onto the sides and feathered in. Transparent Orange was then glazed over the whole surface of the visor. This was repeated 3-4 times after the previous coat was dry to add depth and a sheen to the surface.
Really nice job on these. You've shamed me into painting my own I think. They've been sat on my painting desk now for weeks staring at me accusingly, I've just not been sure how to paint them. I think it's time to go searching the net for inspiration!!! Cheers.
Fantastic stuff again. I really like the badges on the troopers...and of course, the camo. You have chosen the perfect vehicle to display them with as well.
really great figures, what colours did you use for the visors?

ReplyDeleteIt's still a bit convoluted, Dan but, yes, comments now! Thanks FG - I'd be interested in seeing what you come up with.
