Kara Sloan: Completed
After pulling a longer than average painting session, Kara Sloan is complete. I really like how the base turned out, though the pictures fail to capture it fully. I did several washes of green, browns and reds along different areas that gave it a nice realistic coloring and variation. I used Army Painter Jungle Tufts for the three small grass sections, they worked like a charm
Finished at last!
From the front you can see I Spitfire, Kara’s rifle. It came out okay, but I think the steel silvers could have gone darker in the shadows, but I had a hard to time getting them there.
From the back
The back shows the scabbard which I really like the look of, along with more of the base. After the initial gray base coat I did two highlights of gray/white dry-brushing before I did the colored washes. After than I hit it with a couple washes of Badab Black to darken the recesses, then dry-brushed lightly again.
And the side
These pictures were taken just before I gloss coated her. During the gloss coating she tipped over and the top of one of her locks of hair chipped of. And I was sad. So once she dries I’ll need to repair that, then return to the matte coat.
