Hi guys!
No bare skin here and not really that dirty. Perhaps just an 'x'. ;)
The actual fur on a Guard's bear skin hat is very dark so I went easy with the highlights. Added a little brown. Everytime I weather anything I keep telling myself, "know when to stop" so I kept the dirt to an acceptable minimum. Too much and he'll just be a mess.
This is an original Latorre metal figure which can only mean it's not mine. :(
Cheers

Thanks guys. Sorry for taking a while to post my reply.
Loo, yes, oils.
RX, Keanu? That would make him another American playing a British :lol: Remember Costner as Robin Hood?
fly and pesa, all could be revealed soon as I'm in discussion with a mag and there are a few articles lined up. Face painting including how to do the 5 o'clock shadow is in the works should I accept to take on WIP assignments.

Outstanding work. Couldn't find any flaws. Would you mind tell us what else do you actually need to improve? I know the limit is the sky, but your skills seemed outerspace to me.

Thanks again fly. I am very sure there are areas I need to push up a notch or two but it escapes me at the moment. I'll know only when I come across a stumbling block during painting or assembly. I have never painted a perfect figure or bulit such a model. There will always be something I'm not happy about and the quest for the perfect build goes on........and on....and on......
