Polux's Desert SIG

[Guest]

Yep!


This will be my entry for the desert SIG!


I'm not at home now, so I can't post any photo yet


But I can explain my idea


I will use a little base (200/200mm), there will be a bunker hide on a sand dune and over it a nice figure that I have (British soldier) accompanied with a very weathered Jeep SAS!!!


The challenges...., recreate a very fine and coloured sand, and build a nicely old Tamiya Jeep SAS.


Hope you like the idea


Thanks

Sounds great Polux.

[Guest]

Well...It will try to be a "comic" scene...let's see how it turns :P


And I'm wishing to work on the Tamiya Jeep!! It has been so many time on my stash!!!

[aaron]

Yep the Tamiya SAS jeep seems to be a staple of most stashes, I've never built it myself. I did enjoy the lrdg Chevrolet though which came with the master box lrdg figures. Are you going to scratch the bunker? Wait what...comic scene?

Sorry for the late response Aaron


Not, the bunker is a commercial one anyway take a look at the new idea.....


Think is better

[Guest]

Yep!!!


You like the new idea....?


This piece is more interesting than the bunker, and a perfect item to recreate a desert weathering

Hi Moni.


I don't know the scale, because is not a commercial kit in a box. All the paint shops (artistic and professional) has always a stash with different figures like this. They are made of plaster, resin or similar.


As you show like a statue...you don't need a concrete scale...it could be bigger or small

ta Polux i wish i could find like over hear,as there not the most popular things any more,


as i have been trying to find to small cats to go with my figuer,but no luck so far after weeks of trying need them around


30mm to 40mm would work,


and no shops have the little bags of zoo animals with i was hoping to find some think i could use,


look at that 2 sad faces lol,

This is the result by the moment.


Still to do a pinwash, pigments, a drybrush effect and maybe add some more colours.....the challenge is simulate the stone colour

cool looking superb Polux i do real like your progress on this one,the color is looking great


as you know with sand stone depends on what time of day to the over tones you get with the stone and shadow,


and so nice of shearing the painting stages as well,


will be waiting for an update to this one,o_O
