On the workbench: 15mm Macedonian Phalanx (WIP #1)

Once the flash was removed and the figures washed, Airfix Acrylic Primer was applied (see below, six boys, two new Phalanxes):  


Next step apply a Vallejo "brown wash" (see below, a muddy brown "campaigning look"): 


Vallejo Game Colour "Dark Flesh" (see below, small change - a darker brown on a brown background):  


An even darker Vallejo Game Colour, Charcoal/Burnt Brown for the wood bits (see below, everything is getting blurry now - help I need colour):  
 

I decided these boys would have a Vallejo Game Colour Imperial Blue as a "blue" tunic (see below, not too sure how this will work out, but let's see): 


The linen tunic armour gets a Vallejo Plague Yellow as a shade colour (see below, slow progress but getting there): 


Finally the armour, a dark bronze is needed, time to use Vallejo Model Colour  Bronze mixed [50:50] with Vallejo Model Smoke to get a lovely dimmed bronze shade colour (see below, looking sinister): 


Exhausting but I am going to push on. looking forward to the lighter base shades ;)
