GITom1944 Posted June 30, 2015 Share #27 Posted June 30, 2015 Well done on both the figures and the tutorial. I've been in the hobby for many years and I still learned some new techniques. I really like the way your figures look when finished. Tom Link to post Share on other sites
Sparty On Posted July 1, 2015 Share #28 Posted July 1, 2015 This is excellent. I will definitely be using this as a reference in the near future!

Proud Kraut Posted July 4, 2015 Share #31 Posted July 4, 2015 Excellent tutorial. Dennis, thank you very much for your contribution. I'll pin this thread for further reference. Link to post Share on other sites
Jon S Posted July 4, 2015 Share #32 Posted July 4, 2015 Excellent work. Painting faces was something I spent countless hours trying to master as a kid. Might have to buy a set of figures and give it a go again, just for kicks. Thanks for sharing! Link to post Share on other sites
Old Marine Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share #33 Posted July 6, 2015 Thank you all for the kind words. I hope you found something useful. Just to reiterate, paint in thin coat, you can always add more paint and shadow or highlights but once it's there it's tough to remove, patience and practice and trust your own eyes.

pwdickens76 Posted October 4, 2015 Share #34 Posted October 4, 2015 The detail is amazing!! I used to mess around a little with 1/6 scale figures and dioramas. However they take up so much space. It's been about 10 years since I've done anything but seeing these vignettes has really peaked my interest! Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost_ny Posted December 24, 2015 Share #35 Posted December 24, 2015 wow, love the detail using the indigo and olive combo, for that sweaty look. and i also like the way you allow yourself to play with the colors, even though differing from one figure to the next, i think it deffinately adds to the scene and story.... looks great!

IrishRebel77 Posted October 2, 2018 Share #37 Posted October 2, 2018 New to the thread, Very helpful, Thanks for taking the time to explain with photos. Top notch! Link to post Share on other sites
Tecko Posted November 2, 2018 Share #38 Posted November 2, 2018 Thanks for sharing this tutorial. The largest figurines I have used so far are 1/72. Have not attempted to highlight the face in anyway. Too small for my abilities. However, since seeing this tutorial, I am inspired to experiment with detailing larger figurines. Peter.
