Many thanks indeed Pete ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Just had a rummage around my bodies drawer ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) , found a Black Knight sprue from Dragon and added a resin head to the torso of the bloke that was on it ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . No idea who produced the heads, they have been hanging on the pin board for for donkeys ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . I shall try my best to paint him up, but don't expect anything fantastic ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) . ![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1942/45297416461_076715800d_c.jpg) ![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1973/31423127518_4326e15209_c.jpg) ![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1904/30358161427_65fbac256e_c.jpg)

Interesting method Paul and it looks good too ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) Might be a way to paint multi colour camo on smaller subjects?

The oil paint technique is interesting, I was expecting a darker richer colour, It has that faded washed out look, I like it!

Steve, Mack, Vlad, many thanks indeed fellas ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Steve I reckon you could use this on 1/72 too, I would just add small amounts of paint to a very fine brush and drag it across the model until the fading you wish for is acquired. Vlad, I used quite light oil colours for the the green, I suppose with a darker one and less blending you'd get a darker camo. Next time I shall use a matt surface for sure, I reckon that way the colour will also be darker.

I think when/if you apply any dark pin washes it will accentuate it quite a bit?

Many thanks Ian ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) , I do like to try things out that differ from the norm now and again ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Vlad I reckon you're right there, I shall definitely be adding a wash/filter and that should bring the colour back up a bit ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) .

Very interesting way to paint camo scheme Paul. I don't know if I could get a similar result. Great!

Pete, thanks fella ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Carl, appreciated Sir ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Marco, much obliged indeed mucker ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Okay, as I still haven't received the decals from Archer ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) , I have started with that which I really fear ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/browraise.png) . The figure ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) . First off he was primed in Revell 09 enamel anthracite about a week ago. Today he received a first airbrushing with Vallejo 70.860 medium flesh, after about 10 minutes a second airbrushing of Vallejo 70.955 Flat flesh and 70.928 Light flesh mixed in a 50/50 ratio. ![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1949/44707244764_9795223f48_c.jpg) ![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1944/43614186210_84f6d9f807_c.jpg) ![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1978/31556172358_e680cd3cd8_c.jpg) More soon chaps, as always ACACW and in this case any advice at all ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Nice build.
I've never messed with the oils for models. Interested to see how it finishes up.
