Nice work on the Perrys. I understand what you're feeling about the faces. Their Afrika Korps didn't really have the details to make the faces pop. Great work on the USMC stuff!
Again, those guys are so small, how the heck do you even see their faces? I'd like to see the size of the brushes you use. Amazing work Gav!! Very nice.
Hi Gav, those figures are absolutely outstanding, I assume you paint with the aid of some type of magnifying glass or what ever, I score 12 out of ten, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les
Hi Stephen , base Ak shadow flesh , that's on grey primer add AK radiant flesh to the base and keep adding that as you go up each highlight until the final hi light is pure radiant flesh . When you add to the base don't have a large pool of base or it will take you ages to move up to the brightest tones . You can add amaranth red (orange ) as a separate glaze to areas also scarlet too and a extra dazzle at a very high point ice yellow . Any other paint manufactures stuff will do as long as its in the ball park . Hope that helps . Regards Gav.
Yaaaaa! (MORE 28mm VIET NAM!!!!) Interesting point about USMC 'corpsmen'/Medics... As many viewers will know, the United States Marine Corps are more closely allied to the United States Navy, as opposed to the US Army... But the USMC don't have a 'designated' 'Medical Section' in the way that the Army or even USAF do... INSTEAD, they (the USMC) sort of 'co-opt' their combat medics from the US Navy... During the US war in VietNam, especially at the time of the 'Draft' or conscription, many chaps elected to join the US Navy, thus MOSTLY avoiding active combat duty in the boonies or jungles of VietNam... (Though the USN had the Brown Water Navy and indeed the SEALS who both faced heavy combat...) If you THINK ABOUT IT, far safer, IF YOU ARE DRAFTED, to join the US NAVY so at least you won't be wandering about the jungle getting shot at!!!! SAFER STILL to volunteer as a 'Medic' so you'll be most likely working as a 'Ship's Medical Orderly' or even at a USN base hospital... UNLESS OF COURSE you are seconded to the USMC to be a combat medic!!! (Combat Medics/Corpsmen being in the very thick of the fighting and obliged to provide 'First Responder' medical aid to wounded Grunts often in the middle of a heavy firefight!!!!) These NAVY chaps, working alongside the USMC in some of the bloodiest battles of that war, were among the bravest of the brave. Often unarmed, (so they could carry more Medical Supplies) these guys literally ran towards the bullets, providing emergency medical 'first aid' to wounded Marines. Their prompt action saved countless lives, stabilising wounded men until evacuation or 'Dust Off' could be arranged. Over 20 of these men received the Congressional Medal Of Honour. Corpsmen also looked after the day-to-day medical needs of the Company in the field, treating Grunts with Malaria, various parasitic conditions, emmersion foot and other 'regular' medical complaints. Many were (eventually, due to experience), as qualified as a modern Junior Doctor in all but name...) xx SF

Could you list the paints you used for the flesh tones pleases Gav.?
