Just out of curiosity: what paints do you use for the fleshtones? I'm always struggling with these and you seem to have them nailed down..

A dark flesh by Vallejo. I don´t know the code, because the labels always fade away by use pretty soon. It´s a brownish orange like a very light rust tone. I highlight it with white in several steps.

Ranks, insigna and 3 colour cockade are really outstanding!

I really would like your opinion about my U-boot crew.

Ciaociao Marco, your choice of colours is much more appropriate for the dirty job in that coffin of steel. The black wash (I suppose) adds even more grime. I like them much!

Thanks,

I'll give that a go - sounds simple enough. I've been trying to come up with "triads" using several Vallejo flesh colours but never managed to come up with a good set. Never occurred to me to use just one with white lol

Post by: kidterminal on 22 July 2009, 11:52:33 PM: I've been looking at these figures for some time. Your excellent paint job has convined me toget them! Like all Artizan figures they really do resemble the characters from the movie.
