Great work! Love the tones and especially the texture of the jeans. Any chance of a tutorial on the litter? I'm wanting to put litter on my latest build and can't seem to get it to look right, but you've nailed on the head.

the base is watery premixed filler... spread thin and keep dabbing/prodding it - that seems to thicken it up a little bit so you can get some slight undulations in it... when it dires out, you have you overall texture from the undulations and ridges you put in and a nice grainy finish... perfect for concrete in my mind

the litter was green Rizla paper... for the smaller burger wrapper I painted some thin red lines on some Rizla, cut a reasonable sized square out and scrunched... the chip paper was a larger square of plain Rizla... again scrunched into a loose ball and then flatted into contact with some glue (bit of pva - some is needed inside the paper to keep it flat), bit of white paint on the raised surfaces, bit of red and brown GW wash for stains... that easy

the can was lucky, rolled and section of Rizla to the right thickness, glued the final edge with pva, and then when dry cut out a can lengthed section.... press the middle down with a cocktail stick and bend and press down both ends with the flat of your scalpel... when flattened it seemed to stay in shape ok and was just glued down...

Thanks for that, I'll have to give it a try. That you use Rizla paper might be the secret to the trick.

probably.... suggested by Geronimo from Fenris Games over on Frothers and a couple of other people... thin enough to look like scale paper... want to try a news paper, but not sure how yet...

yeah newspaper would be perfect, maybe using rizla with small squiggles drawn on it with a fine artists pen 0.3 or something similiar.

I concur with all of the above and thanks for passing on the rizzla tips!

Got this mini as a treat in my paint queue - just hope I'm as lucky wth my paticulates!  ;)

Apologies for the threadomancy, but I'm currently painting my Daisy and was wondering if I could be cheeky and ask for the colour mix used for her hair (or other general hints and tips to paint hair like that...)?

my blondes are very simple - Citadel Snakebite Leather for the base/shade and keep adding white for each highlight... used some sepia wash into the crevices if memory serves at the end, but that was an experiment and not necessary...
