Hey all,

I've started work on these Empress figures for a downed pilot rescue scenario at the club using Skirmish Sangin....Thought I'd share  :D

Great job on the skin and a very appropriate choice of colour for the hair  ;)

Nice job. Funny enough I have done the same coloured hair on my guys.  :D

Thanks for the comments lads! Something about ginger hair on a Brit helicopter pilot seemed appropriate!

Very nice work on the faces.
The one with the pistol looks really pissed off to be on the ground.

Some more work done -

The camo is just blocked in at this point...the panels all need to be outlined, the individual colours need to be highlighted and shaded, and a wash applied to tie it all together....

This "camo-thing" is starting to be madness...each new attempt improves the previous...really nice. What is the base colour?

I think the base colour is VJ Khaki, then I put largish splotches of that, mixd with PA British Tank Crew, then US Dark Green, then Chocolatre brown, then light sand (i think)...I'll have to check the workbench, as they're all out in a row.

Well, now I am inspired to finish up my Empress moderns.  Yet another project.  Sigh...
