British Airborne - Bolt Action (can I finish a project?)

So, it turned out that a good time was not to be had by this particular carbon-based life form. After a sudden hit to my health (which so far has thankfully not been deemed serious), I had to put this project on hold, mainly due to my eyesight being affected. Although I’m still not 100% I have at least been able to put paint to plastic and attempt to get back some normality.
There’s still a bit of detail and shade to do, but here is my test model:

I’m reasonably happy with the result, I think the trousers could do with being a little darker and I originally thought the Denison Smock was too muted, but on further inspection of photos it appears that they mostly had a worn look anyway and differed greatly in camo pattern across the board.

The colours I used were as follows: –

(V) Vallejo (AP) Army Painter (S) Scalecolor

Cap
Scarlett Red (V) basecoat
Red Tone (AP) Shade on underside
Scarlett Red, Barbarian Flesh (AP) and Glaze Medium (V) Mild tint on top
Black Grey (V) for the band
Heavy Metal (S) with Dark Tone (AP) wash for badge
Above red tones used for mug but went lighter on tints

Sten and boots
Black Grey (V) basecoat
Dark Tone (AP) Pin wash
Dark Grey (V), Sea Grey (V) Tint
Thrash Metal (S) chipping on Sten gun

Face and hands
Barbarian Flesh (AP) basecoat
Flesh Wash (AP) shade
Gradient from Elven Flesh (AP) to Corpse Pale (AP) for skin tones
Ivory (V) for teeth and eye balls. There are pupils in there but they’re tiny and I bottled trying again!
Red Tone (AP) and Matt Medium (V) for lower lip
Dragon Red (AP) and Dark Tone (AP) for inside mouth
Flat Earth (V) with Monster Brown (AP) tint for hair
Pure Red (AP) and Glaze Medium (V) to redden nose, cheeks and knuckles.

Trousers
English Uniform (V) basecoat
Strong Tone (AP) shade

Webbing, anklets and rope
Khaki (V) basecoat
Soft Tone (AP) shade
Iraqui Sand (V) to pick out rope.
English Uniform (V) Canteen
Army Green (AP) basecoat with Military Shader (AP) shade and Combat                          Fatigues (AP) tint for the respirator bag

Denison Smock
Khaki Grey (V) basecoat
Soft Tone (AP) Shade
Dark Green (V) and Matt Medium (V) camo
German Camo Medium Brown (V) and Matt Medium (V) camo

I added the Matt Medium in a 2-1 mix with the camo colour as the real-life counter parts appeared semi-transparent allowing a third shade to appear where the two colours overlapped.
Unfortunately, that is all I managed. Regardless, I’ll soldier on and hope my health will hold out enough that I can get more done. And to bow out of this update I’ll leave you with a gratuitous Lloyd shot…..enjoy.
