Major-general Leontiev


 Finished my command base for the Russian brigade. This is my Major-general Leontiev who command the brigade at Kunersdorf.

The brigade 

I was asked about the paints I used for the greens and reds on this project. I chose the colours for painting large numbers fast and so I can go back and replicate the recipe in the future.

Here they are..

Reds

1: Base of GW Mephiston Red.
2: Light wash with Army Painted Stong Tone, thined out with a touch of water.
3: A highlight of GW Evil Sunz Scarlet.

The Green

1: Base of Foundry Russian Green B.
2: A slight wash with Strong Tone thinned out with a touch of water.
3: A highlight of Russian Green C and a touch of flesh added.

Hope this helps!
