A bit more progress with getting a slightly messy oil dot filter in place to give a base for the next stage of weathering.

Most excellent Jase . Those oils in the back ground and on the card, are they what you have used till now? I have always tried to avoid blue, I just can't it to blend right.

Good question, I decided not to use the blue after thinking, it’s not grey is it! Oh and the problem with the powdery Matt varnish has basically disappeared, which is good.

Well still to dry off plus a harsh light but some crew grime added.

Not a lot of work recently but I did start some pigments before I realised (was told) I had other things to do. Anyway I did the basic blocking in of the figures so now need to tidy them up, add the details and work out the wiring and headband colour of the headphones. They certainly won’t win any prizes but I’m actually not that disappointed as these are the first figures I’ve painted for probably thirty five years and my eyesight isn’t what it used to be.

Eyesight? Tell me about it.
I use reading glasses and a magnifying headset at the same time.

I’m actually quite happy with them so far and something I remember from MilMod seeing a dio. I rather liked but the figures, let’s just say not great. The thing I picked up from that they aren’t the centre of the dio. so don’t have to be great just acceptable.

I've just been watching some You tube videos on figure painting, I think I should give it a go

I've just been watching some You tube videos on figure painting, I think I should give it a go For my first attempt in many, many years I think I’m just going to for the simple approach of some washes and then dry brushing. I have a feeling that my days of blending all the colours is somewhat over.
