very nice work so far ,Ralph,show a lot of deep to him,and well as the high lite,
a great start,liking the look, of him,


do you leach out some of the oil first ,to help with the drying time,?

Thanks for the nice comments Monica.


Yes I do let the oil stand to leach out some of the oil.How long depends on the oil colour I'm using.


I put so little oil on the figure that it will be touch dry in about 24 to 48 hours,again depending on the oil colour.

ta Ralph,


thats the same as I,do ,let it stand for some time,and just have it wet ,so its still able to be blended,

 

[Steve Brodie]

Dirty, Dirty oils - only cause I cant get on with them :mad:, seem to be getting their albeit slowly with acrylics - main disadvantage though is they dry very quick, so you have to work fast with blending

Lovely work Ralph, you and figures are made for each other me thinks.

Some dirtying up of the figure.


I won't show the other figure as it is pretty much the same as this one.

Nice shading on the creases and buttons ( very subtle but effective )

I've been doing some work on the equipment.

Again, beautifully blended weathering on the coat. Never like to see just mud painted on, that's not how it works in real life. It gets into the fabric and changes the colour and you have reproduced that very well Ralph.

I don't tend to weather figure's too much,but thought these figure's do need it.

Hi Friends.


Started work on the trench section.I've used the kit parts but have added some extra planking(scribed plastic)at both sides. Still a good bit of work to do on this yet.

As there are no chairs left I shall settle on the dog shelf and watch this one. Nice work so far Ralph I like many struggle with figure painting.

I guess the dog shelf is better than the dog house
