I primed the bust with black followed with
white highlights. I applied more white to the
flesh to keep it lighter than the uniform.

On the helmet, I airbrushed a base color of

Vallejo Model Air U.S. dark green.

A wash of Citadel Nuln oil and Agrax

earthshade added realistic shading that wasn’t

too dark.

With a steady hand and thin, pointed brush, I
painted the netting with Formula P3 Menoth
white. I made sure to cover all of the molded
texture so that the netting looked like fabric.

The burlap scrim was painted with Vallejo

chocolate brown, yellow green, and Menoth

white. Then it was washed with several coats

of Agrax earthshade.

I kept the helmet off to paint the face, which

I first covered in Scalecolor basic flesh. Every-

thing I did to the face was repeated on the

hands.

The first highlight I airbrushed was Scalecolor
pale flesh. To get the placement accurate, I
angled the brush downward so the paint natu-
rally hit the top of the nose, cheeks, and chin.

To add shadows, I did the opposite, holding

the airbrush in an upward motion and spray-

ing Scalecolor Indian shadow.

Now done with the airbrush, I started hand-

brushing darker shadows in the deeper

crevices with Vallejo charred brown.
