USMC Korean War 1950 part III

Altered the right cheek to balance with the left. Only little bit of Burnt Cadmium Red to increase the contrast in the forward area would suffice for the completion of the face.

The right cheek corrected with some Burnt Cadmium and Salmon Rose so that the tones are gradualised. Happy with that, and attached the hood and helmet assembly. The fit is a little tight and tricky, some of the internal hood areas were damaged and needed to be repainted.

The hood repaired and needed the black lines to be lined in. The helmet has its camouflage patterns are now blocked in. The sand needed to be coated another 3 to four times before toning of shadows are set into place. The colours are little glossy at the moment, nothing that cannot be solved with dilute Matt Varnish.

The brown portions are started to be highlighted. Once this is done, shadows will be added and then same goes to the green, followed by coating the remaining areas with sand and shadows to complete the helmet. Thereafter, we can start work on detailing the holes and straps, buckles, eyelets and laces.
