Many thanks indeed Pete  . Just had a rummage around my bodies drawer  , found a Black Knight sprue from Dragon and added a resin head to the torso of the bloke that was on it  . No idea who produced the heads, they have been hanging on the pin board for for donkeys . I shall try my best to paint him up, but don't expect anything fantastic  .    |

Interesting method Paul and it looks good too  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 . 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 , I do like to try things out that differ from the norm now and again . 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 . |

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

Pete, thanks fella . Carl, appreciated Sir . Marco, much obliged indeed mucker . Okay, as I still haven't received the decals from Archer , I have started with that which I really fear  . The figure . 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.    More soon chaps, as always ACACW and in this case any advice at all |

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