Painting Red Martians

[Sinewgrab]

Does anyone else have trouble with this? I can paint green all day long, but I CANNOT get a good red skin tone. I just stripped my Bronze Age minis for the third time because I cannot get a good skin tone.

I *know* that somoene did a tutorial on here after an LPL, but I can neither find it nor remember who exactly it was...


HELP!!!

Not sure, but the last time we did anything on those lines we used a red oxide primer (although pale grey works too) and for the main paint Tamiya Hull Red, final brown/sepia ink wash over to tone it down slightly.

How fleeting is fame...

Now, don't get your panties in a twist - at least I knew where I had seen it, and didn't go asking the question on, like, Frothers.

Blessed be the cheesemakers!

Vallejo skin wash ink works very well with red, found it to red to go with skin in fact.

Nice tutorial. May come in handy as my skills can use some improvement.
