Hi all,

so the little ones got there black base coat then a dry brushing with white and then with skin tone.

I took the same approach as the big ones, and I was positively surprised to see so much detail, but see for yourself.

Hi Laurie,

sorry mate you need to be patient for a couple of days.

didn't have enough time to get those 2 little ones done.

Wednesday I am back after a brief hospital visit I hope.

Cheers Richi

Richi, your skills are ace mate ...even if the ground crew guy looks like he's returned from neanderthal times

Hi all,

well got a call from the hospital and they rescheduled for next month, so I am happy more or less.

So just got busy with the little ones, and glazed the skin parts wit light skin.

you can still see the base coat and the dry brushed areas.

next up I think, a dark wash of brown but if that not works I will put another light skin glaze over it.

I will report as soon as its done.

Cheers Richi

[monica]

looking good,they coming along nicely , still see a lot of detail, have no cue to what charm you are going to use on Mr knuckle, still very unhappy ,lol

I hope it is not a major thing and the time dose not real matter,no matter what it is

wishing you all the best my friend and do take care,

[Richi72]

Thanks Moni,

well they want to do a ''percutaneoustrans luminalcoronaryangioplasty'' wow no wonder that they found another word for that one PTCA

but they said I can do it this year or next year so its not so dramatic at the moment, but I think done is done.

Cheers Richi

Hi all,

here's a little update on the little ones.

I gave them a reddish brown wash to make the dark shadows and I think I will go for a dark brown wash before I will do some highlighting. And please keep in mind this is 1/48 scale

up to the next stage

Cheers Richi

[Richi72]

well I touched up some deeper parts of the face with dark brown and filed in the eye's cavities with dark brown. There are probable people who can paint pupils and the eye whit in the eye's but I cant, so I will go with the dark brown. You can see the spots with dark brown.
