PAINTINGThe figure painting follows my well known method ofworking from dark to light shaded up from a blackundercoat. This three, four or more colour paintingmethod uses successive tones of colour (shade, middleand light) which are added to the model in layers,working up from dark to light. This creates a bold threedimensional effect of shadows and highlights, the layersof 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 aWarpaints Detailbrush.THE SAME COLOURSThese models fell in three groups for paint, theplainclothes cops, the SWAT team and the uniformedcops, but there were colours that were the same on allthe models, which I have listed below in this preamble. Idid most of these colours first and all together, to try andspeed up the painting process a bit. EYES, FLESHThe flesh and eyes on all these models are in the samecolours. This is Hong Kong after all so I wanted them tohave a noticeably different skin tone from Europeans soplanned my painting accordingly, the skin tone is slightlyexaggerated but I think it needs to be so that it isnoticeable, on such a tiny model on the tabletop. Theblack is the also the same on all the models, butobviously some of the models have a lot more black on
