PAINTINGThe figure painting follows my well known method of working from dark to light shaded up from a black undercoat. This three, four or more colour painting method uses successive tones of colour (shade, middle and light) which are added to the model in layers, working up from dark to light. This creates a bold three dimensional effect of shadows and highlights, the layers of colour giving greater depth and subtlety to the model. For the facial detail and for the eyes I used an InsaneDetail brush. For the rest of the model I used a Warpaints Detailbrush.THE SAME COLOURSThese models fell in three groups for paint, the plainclothes cops, the SWAT team and the uniformed cops, but there were colours that were the same on all the models, which I have listed below in this preamble. I did most of these colours first and all together, to try and speed up the painting process a bit. EYES, FLESHThe flesh and eyes on all these models are in the same colours. This is Hong Kong after all so I wanted them to have a noticeably different skin tone from Europeans so planned my painting accordingly, the skin tone is slightly exaggerated but I think it needs to be so that it is noticeable, on such a tiny model on the tabletop. The black is the also the same on all the models, but obviously some of the models have a lot more black on
