I had a good time painting this guy, as I spent some time on some techniques that are a bit different than traditional layering. The majority of the miniature was done with thin glazes and feathering. I wanted a somewhat worn look on the axe, so I based it in a neutral grey, then glazed down shadows of light brown to dark brown (vallejo flat earth/burnt umber). I then highlighted up with a sand color (buff or something similar) and the took some points to white. The rust on the axe haft is done by pooling red/black, then stippling on some orange/brown to orange then finally a small spot of yellow. The kilt work was alot of fun. Pretty basic really---and not too difficult. I painted the kilt orange, blocked the blues first with reaper brownliner (just to give a bit of depth) then used a pastel blue to cover the brown squares. I had to cut the squares back in a bit, but it was just time--nothing too difficult. I then glazed the kilt with very thin browns for the dirty look, then glazed the entire thing with ivory to wash it out, then highlight up with ivories and whites to finish it off. The rest is pretty standard stuff---base/shade/highlight--just working glazes and feathering the paint. I hope you enjoy. Kev
