I lined around the armour plates with Winsor and Newton Greensih Umber, and picked out some catch points in pure titanium white. I used several glazes of Citadel Thrakka Green over the armour, just enough to tint the armour in highlighted areas, with more layers for shadowed areas. Details again picked out with titanium white. The base was glazed with Vallejo Stone wash, and weathered with various oils and Vallejo powders. The 25mm resin base is from Studio Mcvey's Sedition Wars line. I used a Nuln Oil wash to darken the rifle, used the Vallejo NMM set's Turquoise acrylic to show some reflections, and picked out edges and tiny details with titanium white oil. Her weapon,interestingly, is described by Hasslefree as a rifle firing either 10mm depleted uranium slugs, or flechette rounds. A couple of white catchpoints were added, showing reflections off the visor. The visor was highlighted shaded with mixes of indigo and titanium white oils. Her hair was painted with various tones, mixing titanium white, gold ochre, and burnt sienna oil paints. I also went back in and with tiny amounts of alizirian crimson, burnt sienna, peach black, and titanium white, added more contrast, respectively, to the lips, right eye, nose, and left upper eyelid,

Last week, I used Weber's Pro Mix colour system to slightly lighten her cheeks below her eyes. The face had been "done" since last year. The stubble effect on her shaved head was done with very thin dots of Winsor and Newton indigo oil paint mixed with Liquin, kinda patted and pushed around the flesh of her head with a clean brush.ĭetails of the face. Contrast is a little less, since this is a female figure and I wanted to soften some of her features. Note that I cannot seem to paint eyes with just acrylics. Note the photo of British actress Natalie Dormer, with her head shaved for the role of Cressida from the Hunger Games movies, used as a photo reference.īelow, oils laid in. I started as always with zenithal highlighting, using an airbrush to blow Testors Acryl flat white at a downward angle over P3 black primer.īelow, I used the Vallejo face painting set to lay in the basic colours for the face. I find the style very painterly, like old Dutch masters such as Peter Paul Ruebens. Sometimes there's not even a lot of blending, but rather bold slashes of colour. His style is marked by very high contrast between highloights and shadows, and pure white highlights and catch-points to emphasize cast light. Angel's painting method uses both airbrush and bristle brushes to accomplish prodigious feats of painting. I decided to finish her after recently leafing through Angel Giraldez' book, " Painting Miniatures from A to Z: Masterclass Vol. I started this thing 18 months ago, and worked on her face during a 2015 painting seminar with Rick Taylor. His "resin master castings", though more expensive than Hasslefree's regular resin or metal models, are extremely cleanly cast, and capture most of the detail of the original, epoxy putty sculpt.

IMO, Kev White sculpts the best human figures in 28mm scale. Nee Sun", a 28mm scale resin master from Hasslefree Miniatures.
