Halo Fleet battles human captain bust finished

Halo Fleet Battles Human Captain bust

The week I finished off the human captain bust from Halo Fleet Battles just in time for Cancon.  Wasn’t planning on taking him down but he went rather well and in the end I will take him over the Amy Johnson bust.  She is painted with straight out of the box flesh colours and it shows.  Long live the new flesh (colour mix)!

Back view

For the captain bust my colours were as follows.  Very much a study in blue.

Main Shirt
- VMC Sky Blue 40%
- VMC Flat Blue 50%
- VGC Ghost Grey 10%
Highlights with more Ghost Grey and white, shadows with Prussian Blue

Under shirt
- VGC Ghost Grey - base
Highlights with white, shadows with VMC Dark Sea Blue (very small amounts and glazed)

Hard Amour
- VMC Prussian Blue 50%
- VGC Night Blue 50%
Highlights with Flat Blue, Shadows with more Night Blue and Black.

Flesh base
“Cimmerian King” mix 50%
VGC Bleached Bone 50%
Highlights/Shadows as per Cimmerian King

Hair
- VMC Black/Brown 50%
- VGC Cold Grey 40%
- VGC Ghost Grey 10% - I found the Ghost grey makes this a bit purple so later on swapped it out for a straight grey mixed from black/white.

Under the sea...

My daughter has finished up her mermaid diorama.  Just needs the mermaid to be glued to the base.  I wish she would paint more than once a year :)  My son (a bit too young to enter) is very keen on painting currently so I will get him some figures at Cancon (probably Reaper Bones) just for him, so he has his own figures rather than getting them off dad.

Swim time

Now the wait until Friday.  Going to be a long week at work waiting…
