Blue as a Dutch Boys Pants… Nob WIP

I finished up the wires and control box and moved on to the pants. I guess I don’t paint as fast (or as well) as some bloggers but I’m working on it

I’ve come to realize that large, open surfaces area my Achilles heel right now. I don’t seem to have the right dilution for smooth transitions on big sections, such as this guys blue pants. I choose to paint them blue, rather than the brown of the rest of the army, figuring they want to fool da enemy into thinking they were just another piece of sky! I know the boots are red and black… they’re orks. Makes’em easier to find in my army case too.

I’m also having trouble with seeing exactly where the stitching detail is so I’ll have to rethink how I apply my initial layers. Must have been too thick. I guess I’m that way, that I have to learn something every time I sit down to paint. Maybe I’ll get it to my liking next time. Sometimes when you think you’ve got it… you don’t.
