Achtung! Reichbusters: Projekt Vril

Washing with Army Painter Strong Tone on the cloth and Nuln oil on the black.

For flesh I used Reikland Fleshshade.

For highlights I used the base color to pull the area out from the shade then used Buster Flesh to lighten the color.  I then drybrushed and/or edge highlighted depending on the piece.

The uniform I did not use the base color.  The color of Russian uniforms is a light brownish green.  I used the following ratio of colors

• Russian Uniform
  • Army Painter Veteran Leather (1) + Army Painter Grunt Green (1) + Army Painter Comrade Brown (2) or
  • vallejo ochre brown 70.856 (3) + vallejo olive green 70.967 (2) + vallejo red leather 70.818 (1)

I switched to a ratio as it is a waste of paint if I did full drops for such a small painted area

I also painted the eyes by putting down a black under circle for the eyes then I used xx6 claw to paint the whites then added a dot of black for the pupil.  I then used Buster flesh to clean up around the eyes and then flesh wash to merge everything.

Lastly I put a coat of AK Interactive Ultra Matt Varnish

I tried to post these as individuals but the site keep dumping me back to the start of the project.  I think it is the size of all of the pictures so I put them in a single strip.

Before I highlighted the mini I varnished it with AK interactive Ultra Matte.

I added the following colors

• Added wood to gun
  • Army Painter Veteran Leather
• All metal bits including highlighting gun (buttons, leather buckles, canteen cap, knife handle parts)
  • Gun Metal
• Collar/shoulder strips along with cross outline and arm insignia
  • Army Painter 6XX Claw
• Goggle lens reflection
  • Gun Metal
• I used base color of individual parts and added a little of Buster Flesh to create the highlight color.
  • I used dry brushing on some items along with edge highlights
• I painted the base
  • brick area
    • Veteran Leather + Comrade Brown
    • washed with Agrax Earthshade
    • highlighted with base color
  • street area
    • Matt Black + Shrieker Grey
    • washed with Nuln Oil
    • highlighted with base color + 6XX Claw (a little bit)

I finished the mini with another coat of AK Interactive Ultra Matt Varnish skipping metal parts.

I then varnished flesh, leather with vallejo matt varnish (I find it to be a semi matt)

lastly I varnished the lens with gloss.

Complete.

I used the following washes

• Face
  • Reikland Fleshwash
• Black areas to include leather
