Thanks

Another Highland officer, this time with a simplified tartan which I intend to use for the second unit. I have done a simple guide for this tartan in pdf if anybody wants a copy just let me know.



cheers   Svennn

Yes please 

That tartan looks like you have found the perfect level of detail for 28mm.

[the Mutineer]

that is one of the best 28mm tartan i have seen you have mastered the technique perfectly well done a stunning paint job makes me a proud father ,

[Svennn]

Although this is nowhere near as good as many others I have seen on here it is I think a simple and reasonably effective finish and as I have had quite a few requests and this is easier than sending it each time And remember I am a very lazy and impatient painter so it needed to be quick for me too
 


Basecoat of dark blue all over.
 
Basic grid of dark green, similar to what I think of as the GW Woodland green. I try to do these stripes as two brush strokes wide.
 
Highlight the green in all the intersections with a lighter green. Goblin Green? I actually did two greens as the first was not showing enough. If you can do neat squares brilliant but I tend to dab it in leaving a little dark green around the edges.
 
Same with the blue. I used more of a Royal Blue but you could just add white to the base colour.
 
Thin black lines along all the edges of the green stripes including crossing over the intersections. I dont actually use black but a paynes grey which is very dark and almost black.
 
Thin white lines to finish. I do all the verticals down the centre of the blue squares and just one horizontal across the middle. I did plan this by only putting two horizontal green stripes. You can do them all but I think it looks better without.
 
Hope that helps someone somewhere

Yes, but only in part exchange for 30 feet of flight line and five gallons of prop wash.

Thank god for khaki kilt covers I say.

[Svennn]

Heres the second standard using the head I cut off the recent officer (he got this chaps head so proper head swapping )



and here they both are with the original two



I did the flag on the computer and then handpainted over it. I scanned it and have it as a file if anybody wants one to print off.

cheers  Svennn
