1976 Bucs All Stars : D. Selmon and D. Logan

[the french guy]

I could not wait tommorow, so I started the painting first white coat done (helmets, legs).


Once it will dry, I'll make experiment with the orange tone. Since I don't have any orange botlle available, I'll make my own mix. It's interesting to have "drop paint bottle" to make that type of work, because it's easier to make the same mixes each time !

Hi,

Today I painted the first main coats of the figures

I'll certainly continue this afternoon.

[the french guy]

Hi,

I finished the legs and shoes. On the pics the colors appears a little saturated...

Now, I have to work on the skin tone and perhaps see what I can do to shade a little the white pants without making it dirty. Tought...I'll see the overall aspect of the fig later.

to be continued...

[the french guy]

Hi,


I finalized the skin tone painting. I made it slightly lighter than the last time.

Now I'll do the face (eyes, chinstrap, etc...) and helmet and jersey stripes. Then, I'll have to make custom decals to complete the figs

Lovely! You really have an eye for color. I tried some of the green stuff for the first time last night...and awesome new tool in the tool kit. Do you apply it sometimes with a brush? Do you use a solvent?

[the french guy]

THank you !

For the green stuff, I never use solvent. I make diferent mixes, adding more yellow or more blue, depending of what I want to do.

More yellow : softer
More blue : "stickier" (not sure that word exists )

Last tip, be sure to always apply your green stuff on a clean figure. ALways wash your fig with some soap (because the figures can keep traces of molding grease, even if you can't see it).

they look great , did you not use any shading on the pants ? If you did it is very subtle.
