Actually it's a new one, modified old (simple Foundry Expert flesh triad), I've tested mediterranian skin adding some yellowish ton (Foundry Flesh 5A).

You really will have a lot of poor innocent Roman civillians for your German tribesmen to slaughter, Alex!  lol
Beautiful, bold paintwork of course  :-*

Keith, Brilliant as usual. Fabulous texture to the nebelwerfer and to your painting generally. Those are such wonderfully believable figures too  :-*

Cheers!  Thanks...I've never used foundry paints but you might have convinced me!

Those civilians are gorgeous...so lifelike.  Sigh. One day, maybe I'll be able to shade like that...

The new flesh recipe works well Alex! Atmospheric picture. Keith, the Nebelwerfer looks great, the chipping effect is so cool! Great entries.

I don't think I could paint a 1/76 figure to your very high standard, Keith, so kudos to your painting skills!

This is a really tough match! The Nebelwerfer would look great if it was a 1:35 but it's really fantastic at only 1:76. On the other hand the Prof's citizen scene is great as ever!  :-*

Loads of skill on show with both of these entries
superb work on the nebelwerfer but matched by Alex's sublime flesh painting
A difficult choice

Stunning works of art.  Can I borrow some talent from either one of you?  PS  And now I know where the fist bump originated from.  Rome...Who knew?   lol
