Thank you guys for the kind comments.
Max that is a nice selection of figures you have there. Are these all Dragon and Tamiya or some other brands as well?
They face I did mostly like shown in a recent Vallejo Tutorial on YouTube. Started with strong shadows and highlights like they say. And yes the stroke beaten clown was there. But after the blending process this was all covered. Several layers of translucent paint helped to smooth everything out. Also used a dry brush to feather the borders to avoid tide marks. Seen that on the IG modes channel.
Still a long way to go. 1/16th scale allows for a clumsy modeller like me, not yet sure how to translate that to my 1/35th scale figures.
On the Cap camp I did it a bit differently than on the Jacket, shades are more painted than washed and the highlight better located. I would do it like that on jackets in the future as well. For my Panther I plan to add the Tamiya soldier in his winter camp suit. So already another test object there. And who knows, maybe I will try one of these expensive Alpine miniatures in the future.
