Hi Finn!
Abou the figures:

These are painted only with acrylic colors.

I always start with a pre shading.
Dark gray as base and higlights with white according to the zenital method.
The pre shading will not really visible later, but it helps me to see the details better.

I normally use two thinner layers of the base color for the shadows.
This is followed by three passes where I lighten the color a bit.

The first brightening is applied rather over a larger area.
Only seams, outlines and the deepest parts remain in the basic color.

With the next brightening I paint highlights on the raised places.
This time, however, the area is reduced in order not to paint over the previous colors.

Then a brightening to create higher contrasts and to emphasize certain parts in particular.
The painting area has been reduced again.

Finally, I often paint small and pointed highlights with a further brightening.
Most to make jacket pockets or sews better recognizable.
I used that rather discreetly.

Base painting and highlithing is done, now the shading and profiling:

I thin a paint (darker then the first layer) down, consistency between wash and filter
and carefully paint them in the shade areas.
Like armpits, the inside of the legs or along belts.

Last step: carefully outlining all around the details.
Like a pin wash.
I normally use a very dark shade for this.
Black brown or black green etc.
Thin it down like a wash, maybe a bit thicker, so that the color does not run too much.

Something that really helped me a lot:

I hope this helps you and if you have any questions, please get in touch!

Hi mates, has anyone tried to make broken or shattered glass in 72 scale? If so, any suggestions on what to use?
