When I got back from my Christmas break away from London, I decided I wanted to get a few more points in before I set to work on my 6mm Confederates. So I decided to paint up a couple of (post?) apocalyptic character figures, and what better pair than these?
Getting the pallid, greyish skin tone wasn't easy, but I think I pulled it off OK. I'm not so sure about the blue-green tinge I gave to the bruised lumps on his face though.
With both wearing so much "black" leather, I had to go to take drastic action to create some differences between the different clothing items, using different basecoats washed with black, then mixing various greys and browns into the black for the layered highlights.
Once again, the smooth transitions from the layering doesn't show up that well in the pics compared to the reality. Sorry, but there isn't a lot I can do about that I'm afraid.
These two are both 28mm from Hasslefree. They don't seem to be showing in the web catalogue at the moment though.
That should give me 10 points towards my target. I am slightly behind, but then again I haven't done any points bombs yet!
"I'll be back!"
Nice work Tamsin. I like what you've achieved with the fleshtone on Arnie - you can especially see it in the last image when compared to that of the Road Warrior. Best of luck with your upcoming Rebs!
