With decals and light washes.  Still must tone down the decals and highlight.

And, weathered and photo taken with a flash.  Might look better in natural light.  This flash shows smudges that are just not visible otherwise.

Any comments or criticism?

Nice, the weathering's pretty good.

1/20 Ma. K. Spacesuit WIP
« Reply #19 on: December 27, 2019, 05:28:47 AM »
Just got this guy going.  Decals are not going on well.  I cut a corner, skipped a few steps I always figured were unnecessary.  I guess that they are useful, after all.

Any ideas for the visor?  Some high-visibility orange?  Some kind of decal or symbol?

Once dry and smoothed out, then washes and some kind of weathering, not sure what, exactly.

Comments and criticism?

I like the suit camouflage (the snow one - turns out I am a page behind...). It would look very effective in a slightly urban snowscape.

The Dollhouse looks good in the natural light - the flash produces strange highlights.

Please can we see the weathered one in natural light?

Looking good. What would 1/76th scale translate into mm scale? 20mm?

Traditionally, yes, that is the equivalent. Indeed, true or older 20mm figures tend to look better with 1/76 vehicles than with 1/72, but your mileage may vary.

Re: Topic, I also quite like how the Dollhouse turned out, and a couple of shots in natural lighting would be welcome. Both the tones and the style of the splotches work very well on that one.

Ja, as Chris described.

Screwy scale... I wish these were in 1/48 or 1/100.  That would be close enough to 28mm or 15mm to be compatible with many other minis.

There aren't any.  Gosh, I wish.

I mean, use the 1/76 vehicles with 15 or 28mm infantry.

Ah, I see.  I'm still searching for 20mm (1/72ish) stuff but I'll probably do exactly as you described.
