Here is my take on MGS3 Snake. I used a mix of Tamiya and Testors Model Masters Acrylics. The Tamiya was used for camo, Testors for flesh color.
The parts breakdown are as follows:
- SDS Snake head with sculpted bandanna
- 25th Viper/Mutt Torso
- 25th Viper Upper arms
- Resolute SE Lower...
Here is the latest project I have completed for Oliver Box. A few months ago, Oliver contacted me to set aside our massive ODA project to do an entire SEAL team in honor of the fallen Seal Team 6 members. I had thought about doing this myself since I had an issue of the Marine Corps Times that...
Here is the method I use to make Ghille suits. These are about as real to the life size as you can get in 1/18 scale. From what I have been told by my local hobby store, the material is made by BBI and comes in a blister card package with a picture of the sniper named "Snake" from their 12''...
There are a few ways to paint digital camo. The most popular and easiest way by far is using the sponge method. I will cover the Dry brush method and the cross-hatch technique in this tutorial.
Cross-Hatch: I used a very fine script liner brush to achieve this technique. First you will...
As requested! Here is my how to on painting camouflage. The techniques can be used on ANY camo color combo and pattern from woodland/desert, tigerstripe, MARPAT, Multicam to you name it. As long as you determine the base color, then you can make realistic looking uniforms. Not to say that...
Been a little busy working on a few ideas with the gaggle of parts and fodder I have laying around. I came up with the following figures. Please don't mind the sloppy looking paints, I have found that a good camera lens will tell on you and show things your eye didn't catch!
Here is the...
Windex is AWESOME... and a hell of a lot cheaper than paying $3 for a tiny bottle of thinner from any of the major paint brands.
The blow dryer is another good point CS, I didn't start using that on figs until the last 6 months or so. Definitely cuts down drying/waiting time. I recall using...
I did a "How-to" about this on Hisstank.... linked below. You can apply the techniques to any color pattern you want to use. as CS mentioned, ratio is key. In some of my older work I feel I may have applied a little more black then what was called for. It gets easier the more you do it...
Anyone interested in Ghille Suits for their Snipers? I have a few extra that I made to sell. I can post pics later, but I think I have five extra made. All the camo threads are hand knotted into the netting. This takes me about 1.5 hours to make a complete suit. Its a pretty tedious process, but...
