Sorry Mahon I must have missed that some one replied to the pics.
1st model is being played with but you know me I try and move on apply the idea to the next model. Its funny but its a way I learn to integrate the thought from start to finish.
2nd Model : Ah this is a commission piece (no deadline) Will definitely try a glaze to separate the tone to every thing.
3rd: Nope this is me tring to be bolder with my shadows and highlights. The model will be staying that way as I am trying to play with the jacket to smooth its highlights and shadows out to get it equal to the pants. Mostly I've been painting a lot thinner and in a LOT more layers,
Which is going to make this WIP look bad as its for play use though still trying new ideas. I wanted to play with a lot of different brown tones so I could learn whats different mixes and shadow/base/highlight will come up with. So the whole thing looks monotonous with no clear divisions but since knowing my luck its going to get chipped in playing it will make it quick and easy to repair.

Feel bad that all I had to offer up was a playing piece so here is the hatter closer to being done and Space hulk mini for my local store owner.

If it wasn't for the gutter my mind would be homeless.
