[Alan 45]

Just painted his hat in a matt black then dry brushed it with Revell dust grey to highlight the to fibres , I did try it with an oil mix but you couldn't see it so I had to go with the acrylic [ATTACH]102686.IPB[/ATTACH]

The head is now complete , I just have to paint his tobacco pipe but I'll leave that until last as I don't want to break it off or lose it [ATTACH]102785.IPB[/ATTACH]

I've now painted in the crease folds on the tunic to give it some depth , I might see how that settles back when it's dry and see if it needs a dry brush [ATTACH]102790.IPB[/ATTACH]

Tunic front now painted and creases folds done in oil it might need a dry brush when dry but I don't think its that noticeable anyway [ATTACH]102793.IPB[/ATTACH]
