One of the models from the Frothers UK sculpting competition winner pack "Lurkers at the threshold". The other two will be painted within the near future.I wanted to give this model a very dirty clothing, rags covered in mud and soot - and have the skin in very bright yellow to make a sharp contrast.
The yellow is Scorched Earth mixed with Sun Yellow painted in a few layers with pure Sun Yellow at the end. Gave the skin a few spots as well.
The soot/dirt marks on the rags is made by dipping a sponge in some dark paint and then rubbing the almost dry sponge across the chosen surfaces.
Unfortunately the Matt Varnish didn't want to work to 100% satisfaction, I've noticed that some colors are more prone to glossy finish even after matt varnish than others. Dark grey/black as well as khaki colors like the ones on the robe are very resistant to matt varnish effects for some reason. Spraying the model twice wasn't enough.
