Raccoon

Let's start this Raccoon!!!!

used John Belushi from Spielberg's 1941 as reference for the painting

painted with vallejo acrylics and citadel

texturing with mr. surfacer 1000 and 500

more heavy texture on the feet and legs

done with texturing hehe

tiny details with epoxy

more little details with epoxy

primed at lunchtime =)

Testing the color sch

The potato underpaint!!!

potato underpaint applied at last!

The Potato Underpaint works as a charm! all brush

Another thin layer of the base color

The second color

The second color was applied with a sponge, like the good old days!

more detailing

chipping time! this time painted with a tiny sponge! used the surface primer mixed here and there for this

once the chipping it's done, paint light details on the border of the chipping to simulate volume on the chipping

looks gooood

Applied the water decals , also added some cables, after that the last touches of Ammo Mig weathering and it's done

finished the paint job and weathering at last!

the last thing left, the female pilot!

in this stage looks like a clown, a few thin layers of citadel flesh tone

and its done! used mechacolor for the helmet

changed the eyes of the male pilot, painted looking to the other side

FINISHED!!!!

the underpaint are just blue, yellow, red and green, the first layer is deep green Vallejo mechacolor, but you can use whatever you want on thin layers over the underpaint

You have an interesting way of painting, that with the face I had not seen so yet. I'll give it a try. The overall result is very convincing, top work 👍
