Title: More USMC Vietnam
Post by: Clawed_Greengrass on May 25, 2019, 03:09:11 PM
The last thing we needed was another Vietnam topic  lol

Well i couldn't resist the wonderful USMC figures from Empress Minis made by that clever chap Paul Hicks. Here are the first two of many. Hope you like them.

Fantastic. I love the subtle differences in uniform and equipment tone, but I feel the skin tone is the most striking feature of these paintjobs. Great work!  :)

Thankyou

It was quite a complex palette with these first two, lots of trial and errors. Once i get into a routine and happy with the results, i'll gladly share  ;)

Fantastic. I also like the fact that you have done the flak vest in different shades as they seemed to be. Just painting my second batch and doing a similar thing.

Lets see more  ;)
