Greetings all,

first post after long time of just reading and its finally a question.. sorry about that.
But i face a problem that i cant find a solution for.. tried diffrent forums and no one could help so maybe someone here...:-)
I saw a , in my oppinion, fantastic looking Riptide on Cmon, in fact its this one

http://www.coolminiornot.com/330184?browseid=5444692

i tried diffrent ways with my airbrush to copy this style , but no matter how hard i tried.. couldnt find a solution to get this brown/khaki/dirty white look.
Anyone got suggestions what colours were used on the body and on the weapon?base, highlight, shadow...?
I have all GW and all Vallejo model colour air available here,im also in my oppionion an average brusher so that shouldnt be much of a problem.

Thanks very much for your help and please excuse my bad english:-(

Looks like the person used a good amount of oil wash on it. I could only guess at what they used.

I'd recommend asking him on coolmini, they have a forum and you can send IM's.

Hope that helps if even just a little.

Looks like they started with a khaki or a light tan, but its airbrushed so you get the gradation of color concentrations. It also looks like the photo was color corrected for shadows so it may not be a true representation.

You should ask him, not us. He even lists his website.

I tried to contact him trough his homepage and cmon but he didnt answered.. i even offered him 50 bucks for just of compilation of colours used at what stage..
tried to copy the scheme with the german dunkelgelb set from ak interactive but didnt worked... very frustrating... stripped the mini 4 times now.. gnah no day without thinking about it...

Primed white, then wash away. Looks like he used a spraygun with bleached bone/white mixes, then washed with nuln oil and delvian mud. After he was done painting, he weathered it with powders.
