First look at me 15mm Science Fiction painting attempt

Black washed (see below):


Vallejo Game Colour Stone Grey, highlighted with Vallejo Game Colour Wolf Grey, Vallejo Game Colour Bone White and Humbrol Acrylic (170) Satin White (see below):


Same colour combination from a different angle (see below):


Application of a burnt umber "dipping wash" after full immersion (IMHO too heavy) and left to dry (see below):


Retouch with Humbrol Acrylic (170) Satin White (see below):


Hmm, it was an experiment and the attraction of the Sci-Fi is that there are not hundreds of figures to paint, but methinks perhaps I spent too much time on this one and I could be a lot cruder.

Your thoughts appreciated ;)

Hello, try painting the wash on with an old brush - you get much better control over where the wash goes, and how heavy a wash. And you use less wash.
