You've got this down to both an art and a science, and the end result looks great! About the only thing I would have done different would be to paint the areas of bare skin first. Master Modeler Shep Paine always advised to, "Paint your figures as though you were dressing them," and skin would be the 'first' layer painted, before working "outwards" from underwear, to outer clothes, and then coats and jackets, and finally, equipment. Speaking of skin tones, I'm going to have to look into that Citidal FleshShade. (At my age, it's getting harder and harder to paint small facial details, and the results you achieve with this color looks like just what I need.) Thanks for sharing this! I'm looking forward to seeing these figures and tank in a future diorama! 9th Like.
Thanks for the advice, I usually paint the most important and complex parts first, but thanks for the advice, I will try to paint from the inside as you advised me. As for the Citadel FleshShade, I use it for the shaded parts of the skin, such as the eyes, the forehead if covered by a helmet/cap, the chin, and to underline some facial features (like a gaunt face for example), or even on the hands between the fingers (if the miniature is not wearing gloves at this moment), otherwise I use Citadel null oil. Thank you so much for always being there with advice and support!
