Hi,
heres some pics of some 40mm Perry Naps figures.

The French figures were ment to have the 'on campaign' look while the Spanish are fresh from the barracks. Interesting trying to capture the different condition of the troops.

Still not sure I have the Spanish skin tone right yet.

Heres the pics.

French

Spanish

As usual all comments, good or bad, are welcome

Gazza,

Top job!!

The Spanish skin looks (if anything) looks a little too dark? I had the same problem when painting up the Gripping Beast Successors. In the end I opted for Foundry Flesh, starting with A, then A&B, then B&C, with a fianl highlight of C. I thought it still looked a little too red for my liking but most folks thought it was fine

.

Cheers,

Darrell.

Hi,
yeah it has come out too dark. Just been oulled up by a spanish painter on the SD site. Should just be standard flesh according to him.

Thanks

Hi,
sorry to say it but they are lost in the U.k. postal system at the moment so no repaints.
