Title: modern 20mm americans
Post by: The_Wisecrack on February 22, 2010, 09:13:21 PM

here are some slightly rough pics of one of my latest commissions.

this lot is painted using three drybrushing layers for the clothing, a two layer for the weapons and two layers of skin color for the skin.

Very good only 1 minor criticism that is that the weapons are too silver. I usually do mine charadon granite with a slight drybrush of a lighter colour.

Yes, you are absolutly right. There is no silver on modern weapons!
They look very dark so I prefer for my own figures black with a brush of dark/middle grey.

O.k., after heavy use of this weapons you can see some metal ground scratches.
But don't show this to your sergeant ...  ;)
