From GeorgeS - Sniper in the Moonlight - 30 points

Wow! Never thought that this would take me so much time! This is my first ever try in greyscale , or to try painting something in the dark and thank you to give me that opportunity :) This guy took me a bit more than the normal colouring and the blending and layering was a bit tricky!

So, here we have another Airfix 1:32 scale figure, from " British Paratroopers" set.

The Sniper!

I've painted this figure using the original colours ,as I would do with the normal figure but mixing all of them with heavy amounts of dark or light grey( sometimes black or white). I wanted to give the feeling of light from above by the moonlight. So a small idea of the original colour should be visible.

I don't know if that is well depicted in pictures. Hope you like him :)
