Title: Toten Nazis
Post by: 6milPhil on 02 September 2012, 03:15:09 PM

Just finished ten of the Westwind nazi zombos... first figures I've painted in a long time which I didn't enjoy...

odd, no issue for me in painting these up Phil.  :? perhaps try a wash over the skin to bring out some of the detail and reduce the neon effect, (unless that was your aim?).

Goodluck.

Painting looks clean enough, it just need something to bring out the details as the Commander says.
Notice how the skin and the shirt is almost blending together? Even his suspenders doesn't really stand out against the shirt.
Play around with some washes, or even some Quickshade. I think it would do a huge difference.

Before trying out Quickshade I'd recommend you doing some additional highlighting, as it will enhance the Quickshade even further.

Good luck!

Perhaps... but at the moment I'm not going near them.
