Excellent job on that fig Mario !

Wow didn’t see the pic of the scarf at first! Outstanding!

Thanks, I’m glad you like it.

Mario

great work.

Wow, Mario, those figures look awesome! The tiny airbrush work on the Live-Resin camouflaged guns really paid off.

I heard of modelers using Humbrols. I thought that Humbrols’ color choices were a bit constrained in variety of colors.

Brilliant work . Your skill level is top notch

I still like working with Humbrols and never learned to do brushwork with acrylics. I guess I’m an old dinosaur… but I like mixing colors to get the tone I want.

Thanks guys!

Very nice :+1:

If I could paint at a quarter of your skill, I’d call myself a painter. Very nicely done.

Mario, what about the scene??

Whising to see more!!!

4 years later I came back to this project. Here’s the groundwork in its base colors. I have no idea how to paint those large rocks.

Looks good! Maybe dry brushing the rocks?

Great work on the figures and ground Brother. Rocks on the edge added great realism. Congrats.

Venko, didn’t you do a similar scene with rocks from Afghanistan? I think it UAZ and Spetsnaz figures Is it finished?

Working on the ground now, I was thinking of dry brushing the rocks on the cliff, so that’s why I suggested it. Also you can pick the smaller stones with different colors for variation. I will post progress soon.

Oh man, this is amazing work. Glad you pull it back in the work bench as this deserves its glory. Painting is top notch all around. Love it.

Hi Mario, glad to see this one back on the bench.

I did a similar vignette a while back with the Magic Factory MRZR. I used woodland scenics moulds for the rocks and painted them by wet blending the paint; mainly panzer aces old wood, light mud, and AK grey brown.

(No idea what happened to my original account, had to re-create this one)

Hi Andy, good to see you again. :blush:

I know your MRZR vignette, in fact I saved the images for my own references when doing Afghan rocky terrain. Great stuff!

Hopefully I’ll have something to report soon.
