After primer I gently dry with a hair dryer which aids me in time and allowing for next layer of paint . I always use vallejo paint up to date but have started messing with life colour recently but vallejo for this figure . I would like some opinions on the colours to use for the uniform if someone would be so kind to help here are some pics for ref: [ATTACH]79848.IPB[/ATTACH]

I was thinking 71023 hemp(camo beige) uniform and 71044 light grey green pouches equipment etc thanks everyone for looking and any help advice regards John[ATTACH]79849.IPB[/ATTACH]

great start John,its good to see the way people go about the way of starting and adding the diffidence tones and low and high lite very interesting

i have been using life colour for about 2yrs since i got back into modeling and was fine with it till i started to use vallejo and i have found that the vallejo

is a much better paint to use go,s on smooth and is easy to move about as well, as i did notice that the life color dose seen some what gritter with some off the colors or it could just be me,

and if you do start to use both , would like to know if you do find the same ? as im only building up my vallejo paints so i do mix them,

Good start John, i use a mix of Vallejo, life colour and artiste paints, normally life colour for faces. I dont know where you start but i always start with the face, i think this is the one thing that gives the character life so i like to get that right first and then work my way down

Paul,The face I think like you say is possibly the main feature it can make or break a figure as in real life when you meet someone new you always look at their faces 1st unless it's a woman and she isn't looking lol The head is only held by blu tac at the moment but will be taken off for painting and put on a cocktail stick and replaced last when all else is finished . Sorry Monica on my reference to ladies but I couldn't help myself Thanks for your comments cheers John
