Cuba and the Phillippines: Revolution and War

Thanks - I use a 'midtone-wash-midtown' system, so I guess washing the eye socket would be the equivalent. I'll give it a go!

Thanks Nevermore!

That should work. I did that on my Sisters of Battle and they came out pretty well.

For these guys, I wanted a darker complexion, being in the tropics and all.

But hell, they are only miniatures! The real thing that is important is that YOU like how they come out.

Wow, excellent job on these Ray.    I'm particularly grateful for your tutorial on eyes, as I've never thought it was within my abilities to paint them the "black and two dots of white" or "white and a dot of black" methods, nor thought that those looked very good on most 28's. 

One question - have you actually painted stripes on the uniforms?  Or is it just a light blue that is achieving the desired effect of "suggesting" the blue and white stripes?

[Ray Rivers]

Thanks mate!

Yep, I did indeed stripe them. I think they got a bit washed out by too much light for the photos. Like I say, I just point a shoot. Having said that, the stripes are just another progressive highlight so they are not going to really jump out.

Bye the bye, sorry I haven't added to the thread... I recently bought Hearts of Iron 4 and I just can't shake it for now...

Paradox games tend to do that...

These are beautiful Ray!

[Ray Rivers]

Cheers!

Really appreciate it.

I have 4 guys staring me in the face with their uniforms complete. Only need to do the equipment.

I really want and will get them finished... just don't know when.

Haven't seen a so bright painting! Your colors are full of light!
I like very much the friar and the sergeants' expression is all the money!
Keep 'em coming!
