BAOR - Pheasant Killer - Not! 14/10

Really do  love these. Superb work

Thanks, again, all 

Several people have asked me how do do DPM - I don't normally do step-by-steps as, to be honest, they're a PITA but as I had a bit of time today whilst varnish is drying I've done one. Apologies in advance if there's a bit of Egg-sucking....

#1 Block in the base colour - I use a roughly 50/50 mix of Vallejo English Uniform and Iraqi Sand - it doesn't need to be super neat as it will all get covered up



#2 Highlight the base by adding a bit more Iraqi Sand to the mix...



#3 All over wash of thinned Vallejo Smoke - adds shadows and covers a multitude of sins!



#4 Green Blotches - thinned Vallejo Refractive Green (any medium green will do - if you look at any 2 pictures of DPM the colours will be different) - just remember to stop the pattern at seams, pockets et cetera



#5 Brown Blotches - thinned Vallejo Flat Brown (as with the green, the colour doesn't really matter)



#6 Black Squiggles - thinned Vallejo Black with a drop of German Camo Black Brown added to take the edge off



#7 Colour in the rest...

Stunning mate

Lovely daubing but if you are looking to depict the green lightweight trousers you should file off the right hand cargo pocket.

Very OCD I know but I had to do it, plus file off the the shell dressing pocket on every jacket arm for a platoon’s worth of 1960s era Brits and I want every other bugger to feel the pain too.

Nice work (as expected).

Thanks for the DPM guide, and to others over the SLR furniture information (saves me making mistakes over my Australians for Vietnam).

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

Fabulous.

I get that same wide-eyed look of horror from my figures when I approach them with a brush too! (Great tutorial, thanks.)
