My friends, it was a busy day but the gang is finished 😊And these were the best heads I ever painted. Their individual personalities are just a small cherry on top. Just excellent figures from head to toe, a real painting pleasure! 

I also added some weathering on their uniforms. At first I went the acrylic route using the stippling method, but this was taking so long I switched to enamels. Well, at least they match the weathering on the Jagdpanther 😁 And now we can finally proceed to the main event, the diorama!

I've been studying the faces carefully....brilliant! Now I paint faces under good lighting and magnification (knackered eyes at 68) which is fine, but I have to keep checking the skin tone in normal light conditions as it totally changes from perfect to too dark in normal lighting and in a glass case.. This is also true of actual tank colours.. As I have no control over where someone displays a model of mine. Do you allow for light ?

It's about finding a color palette that works for you so you can keep using it with consistent results. From what I've seen, the skin tones on figures have to be brighter than real skin on us, otherwise they'd look very dark.

Quick question do you paint the eyes or is it to hard in 1/35 scale? Amazing work by the way. Always look forward to your video's.
