Hi Darrell,
Love those close-ups and I'll use them for inspiration when I start Part 2 of my Beja chaps.
All the best,

Thanks Simon. I've been following your thread for inspiration and ideas too!  8)

Thanks Rob.

I was lucky and bought the Foundry Skin tones set before their paints went a wee bity "oily"/thick and thin simultaneously (if you know what I mean?)

For the more reddish skin tone I used the African Flesh Triad (speeded up by having colours ready in a wet palette). i then added a further highlight of North African Flesh B just to bring the North African Flesh out a wee bit more.  This took longer than the darker skin tones as outlines below:

For the darker skin tones (above) I used purely Dark African Flesh (again, ready in wet palette).

Having colours ready or mixed ready can really speed painting up. Or at least that's what I have found.

I am very tempted to speed things up even further which is why I'm watching Simon's (Painterman's) thread closely here as he has certainly got some excellent results:

Thank you for your very kind, encouraging words VonAkers :)

50mm rounds. It took a lot of pondering and messing around before I settled on three miniatures per base  o_o
