hi all,

got this figure as a present long time ago and a friend (who visits England every year) asked me if I could paint it on commission for her. I have no clue where this figure is from or whats scale, to be honest.

But hey, I cant help it - lets do this already for that friend. I decided for a "Black Watch" scheme.

Your flesh tone skills are very lifelike!

Thank you. In most cases I use Vallejo Panzer Aces colors for that. With a little touch of red (thin layers on cheeks), plus some lightened base color. Important thing is that you use really thin layers. Afterwards a little bit of brown washings, and thats all the magic.

I'm glad that you are here to help those of us whose figure painting skills are wanting...

Yes, I am taking notes for use in my Qui Gon figure.

Todays work. Red uniform jacket, hair, plaid and even some chequers for the head. All painted in acrylics as usual, main color is Light Red from Vallejo, the black/white primer helps a lot here.

Superb Lucas!

I am really interested to see how the kilt goes. That is something I certainly need schooling on. Doing patterns that are not camouflage.

Subscribed! Really wonderful work, Lucas.

Thank you, glad you like it!
