No matter how hard I try I can't get the middle one's face to work.

Ok assuming we're going left to right, 1, 2 and 3. *indicates old colour name. each stage counts as a layer. All based in black

Faces/flesh
- 50/50 mix Scab Red with Cadian Fleshtone

Today me and the little brother made a forest base for our store bought trees. I might do an article if there's an appetite.

Very cool!

Thanks. The house is a mess after all that scattering material!

Harfoot · **Posted:** Sat Jun 15, 2013 4:23 pm

Very good, yes please to an article. Would like to do something similar.

It's pretty straightforard. Glue, scatter, repeat. I took photos at each stage anyhow. How does one go about doing an article and is there a section on the site for them? I recall there was on the old site

I love the many different shades in the forest. It really makes the woodelves fit into their homeland.

Thanks very much for the paint scheme, Gene. I hope you don mind if I use something similar when the new ones come out?

Brilliant wood. Well Done.

Go right ahead, no need to ask!

Thanks for the compliments, I wanted to do the woods for a long time.

Great looking woods & I love the painting on the elves! Will take advantage of your painting guide when I tackle wood elves myself (although that is likely quite far in the future).
