Continuing my experiments with WW2 figures and Speed Paints, I have just completed some Airfix Australian infantry. Getting the green shade was a challenge but I finished up with a 2:1 ratio mix of 'Holy White' and 'Camo Green'. The white is actually a light grey. The webbing is 'Pallid Bone'.
The figures were quite clean with good definition and nice detail.
They have turned out really well, nice to see these figures a real blast form the past for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie, they are rather charming and I need to get hold of the Bren gunner figure!
DeleteVery nice and indeed! Jungle Green is a hard colour to get looking right.
ReplyDeleteI had to experiment quite a bit by adding more and more light grey to tone down the green.
DeleteI can vouch for the toughness of Australians. One survived alone in my Nan’s garden in Ringwood over the winter of 1975/76.
ReplyDeleteAh, but I bet there is a Japanese sniper still out there!
DeleteOnce again you have worked magic with the Contrast Colours Bob…
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
Thanks Aly. I must say that the figures look awful at the beginning, but seem to come together when the final colours are applied.
