Pic isn´t great, sorry. I converted him for my Carlist Force
-
Excellent!
Never did tackle that technique for wood grain in the rifle though... It looks brilliant.
Top marks for the highlights on the pants and gold cord - that´s what caught my eye first :)
PS.: What is that white bit on his hand (the one holding the rifle barrel)?
Edit: Care to do a quick step by step on the wood grain technique (the colors used mainly).
-
Love it! :-*
Which figure did you use as a basis for this one?
-
Exceptionally neat as ever. The Carlsberg of Spanish forces indeed.
-
Great painting and a nice conversion
dodge

Very very nice... Are there any models I can use for my Falange as trumpeter and standard bearer ?
Any idea Durutti....Hazel...Chris ?

Try pack STD1, there are two useable standard bearers in there, and you could paint the bugler with a Falange blue shirt, or do the same as Lt did, and swap the head for one with a Gorillo cap.
Or, use the Bugler from the Foreign legion command pack (LEG3)
-
As Nigel said. The STD1 pack is more useable I think. And the Foreign Legion trumpeter has a beard, I´m not sure if many falangistas had beards?
Torradas: The white bit is a little strip from one cypress tree with some ivory paint on it (now cut down). I paint the wood grain like this: VGC Charred Brown over black undercoat. Then stripes with VGC Beasty Brown (it´s good when your hand is trembling a bit, gives a more realistic grain ;) ) and highlight this stripes with VGC Filthy Brown. That´s it.
