Corp Reynolds Gets the BrushBack at it again. I completed the front and back of the smock on Corp Reynolds. Since I was already up front the ammo pouches, belt, and shoulder straps were completed as well. Once the arms and gear are finished I will paint the hands on all the figures before "Dull Coating" them, then paint all the brass and metal parts. Shading and highlighting this particular camo pattern can appear daunting and intimidating, but actually, once you get into it it's just a matter of changing out colors. I just followed the natural light fall projection in each area, switched the colors already on my palette and carried on. It is time consuming, I'll tell ya that much, but it's been a fun experience.    More to follow soon. Cheers, Ski.

Thank you Gentlemen.
Got the snow plowed and painted all day yesterday and the night before. The left arms was time consuming and the right arm is turning out to be the same. This figure has a lot of gear too, so I've got a ways to go on him.
thanks for watchin Gents! Cheers, Ski.

Corp Reynolds Done for Now
Plugging along I was able to complete the upper torso of Corp Reynolds. I still need to address the scarf, but for now this figure is going to be set aside while I start figure #3.
The Corporal patch and Para patch were both hand painted, I couldn't get a quality print from my printer. They were not difficult, but the Para patch had to be done more than once, lol.
This Denison smock camo pattern is time consuming and very detailed. Though I did not actually get this pattern nailed to a "T" I'm calling it good. There comes a time when you just have to move on and get er done. I do like the tones on this figure in particular, so I'll carry that forward for the last two.
Once again, when all the figures are completed I will "Dull Coat" all of them at once and go back and paint the brass buckles and snaps.
     
So far I'm having a blast and I'm looking forward to getting to the base. I'm gonna say this again, when you have finely sculpted figures it makes the painting process a heck of a lot more fun! Great work Stevo!!
Thanks for watching and more to follow. Cheers, Ski.
P.S. I better not forget the 5 o'clock shadow, shall I?
