On the workbench

A quick hobby update:

I picked this guy up on Friday and couldn't wait to get some paint on him! This is probably my favorite GW sculpt and this model has been a blast to paint so far. The skin on this nasty is actually pretty complex:

• RMS Dark Shadow
• VGC Bronze Fleshtone
• GW Dwarf Skin
• GW Elf Skin
• RMS Moldy Skin (on wounds)
• GW Orgyn Flesh
• VGC Purple Ink (in the shadows)
• SWM Red Black wash
• GW Elf Skin (zenithal highlight)
• RMS Dark Highlight (strengthen the shadows)
• VGC Purple Ink (bruises around the belly wounds)

This is roughly the order I did the skin... and in hindsight, I should have done the skin with the arms attached too. I just hope I can replicate it to some degree when I paint the arms holding his weapon. I hope to have him complete some time early next week. I will loose most of tomorrow because I got tickets to the Redskin's home opener against the Bengals.

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!
