15. After a bit more tweaking with blending flesh I ended up with this.

Now I didn’t take any more pics because I was trying to get him ready for a contest and for this I apologize. Here is how he ended up looking. You will notice that he now has some stubble growth. This is totally optional and was done by putting very small drops of Paynes grey and really pushing it and making it translucent. I also put a little more red on the cheeks and between the eyes

I hope I was able to pass on some useful tips for you all. Like I said earlier, my way is by no means the right or only way to paint a figure. It's just A way.

Wow!
(Hard to comment anything else since those pictures speak on their own... )

I've tried oil paints on my 1/35 figures but I've had a different approach. Learned lots here!

A big thank you for reposting this great guide. I for one need all the help I can get with faces!

Brilliant. I would never of imagined starting so dark, but there you go, it works. Thanks again.

Hi Ty.
This is a gem of an SBS and explains everything so well.
I use mainly oil top coats for my figures and paint completely the opposite way to this but as you say this is just one way and will certainly help beginners.
Thanks for posting.
All the best.
Ralph.
