Dre's Painting

Since there are three of these guys, I went with 3 different colors.  Vallejo US Field Drab, US Olive Drab and Vallejo Game Night Blue.  I decided the field drab one would be the "elite" so he's wearing gloves.  All the leather bits are black, with gloss varnish brushed on.  The rank board on their chests are silver with royal blue and vermilion. The blue uniform is washed with army painter blue tone while the other two were washed with army painter military shader.  The flesh was washed with army painter flesh wash.

I spray painted these guys with Vallejo Model Scarlet To see how different they are, I washed two with Army Painter's Red Tone and two with Citadels Carroburg Crimson.  The Citadel wash when on much thicker and darker. I painted the staff dark grey and metallic silver and colored the visor slot black.  At some point I may revisit these and try to do a lens effect on the visor Varnished them with Vallejo gloss varnish.  I masked off the heads, staffs, and bases with silly putty before varnishing again with Vallejo matte varnish. Three out of the four came out really well.  I may have overmasked the staffs on some so the right shoulders are a bit gloss when they should be matte.  One ended up with some of the matte varnish peeling a bit.  Not sure what I did to cause that... maybe I applied too much?  You can see the peeling on the one on the left in this picture.
