Large scale figures

[DRUMS01]

Since it has been years since I participated in this forum I want to update you on some of the figures I've built. Most were out of the box with only mild customizing such as straps and belts. Some are Verlinden while others are from everywhere around the world. Paints used were Tamiya, Vallejo, Testors MM, pastels, watercolors, and some oils. 

 

Thanks for looking.... Stay safe, healthy, happy, and model something.

Jeepers!!! They look fantastic. My hat off to your skills, I totally suck at painting figures.

I really find figure faces difficult to paint realistically. Could you possibly post

Some of your techniques for for painting faces? A brief tutorial would be greatly

appreciated. My figures end up looking like expressionless pink-faced albinos.

Thank you everybody for the kind comments. Well belugawhaleman, I could try to get something together, but you could just as easily go to the planetfigure forum where they have numerous tutorials using several different mediums. They also have some specific on how to apply eyes, depth, expressions, etc. I use a little of everything, enamels, acrylics, oils, watercolor, and pastels. Another topic with figures is how to get depth and smooth transitions in the uniforms and gear. Some of the techniques I use include airbrushing, washes, blending, and dry brushing followed by light weathering using pastels or weathering mediums. I am no expert by a far margin and have tried numerous techniques until I find one that works for me (or a combination of them).
