The highlanders really are full of character and I love the facial expressions Calimero, well done

Richard I just do not understand how you always seem to get such vibrant results with colours. The faces are also superb - can I ask if they are just blended or is there some sort of wash used as well?

Thank you gentlemen  :)

Kerry, no, no washes - i've never washed in my life. Anything that involves sloshing gloop over my lovingly applied paintwork is an adventurous technique too far for me! The faces are just blended using Vallejo red leather mixed with dark flesh, and then lightened from there with increasing amounts of white. Plus a bit of red mixed into the mix for the lips. That's it!

Glad I sat by Matakishi on the plane, then.  :)

Who the hell is this "Captain Blood" and why is almost everybody voting for him? ;)

I must admit that I’ve also voted for your entry Richard. Really nice and vibrant colors and waaaaay better photo too lol

It also reminded me that I have two of the renaissance guy with the little pig in their arms somewhere in the lead pile… I must start digging them out :D
