And this is why I sometimes want to throw my entire set of brushes into the river.

My god man, the plaid shirt!  Beautiful!

The faded/washed out look of the plaid is beautiful.  How did you manage?  It looks like ages of tear inducing blending.  Great work.

It wasn't too much of a big job really. Thankfully it was just the sleeves otherwise it would have taken a lot longer.

I can't remember what shade of blue I used now (could have been Vallejo Heavy Blue or Coat d'Arms Fester Blue) but I certainly would have added a bit of VMC US Olive Drab to mute it. That was just painted over the whole area and I think I used a little VMC Medium Grey to give it a couple of quick layers of highlight. No point in highlighting too much as the pattern obliterates it anyway. I then mixed some of the muted blue into either more Medium Grey or VMC German Camo Beige WWII and used that to add the lighter vertical stripes, then I did the horizontal stripes. Then a slightly lighter mix was used to paint in the squares where the stripes intersect. I used GW Zamesi Desert for the thin lines that run through the middle of the stripes and added a lighter dot where they intersect.

Excellent work as always... Nobody's commented on those rather interesting bases yet - can't say as I recall ever seeing ones with that shape! Fancy aftermarket bases, I suppose?

blimey.

if you'd told me a larger scale, both due to the sculpting and painting I'd have believed you.

Strikes me that such amazinbg brush-work really allows one to see properly the excellence of today's premier sculpting.
