The Huns are here



This is my 75mm figure of Attila the Hun. Again it's a figure from the Scale 75 series and one difficult because flesh tones are the most difficult to paint realistically. If you can paint flesh you can paint anything. 






Once again i varied slightly from the original one on the box cover. The red sash was done by doing a red gore undercoat, followed by red/brown ink mixed together, red gore again and then blood red for the final highlight. The boots were done exactly the same way.


The trousers were first done in a black undercoat followed by a mixture of black and flesh tone mixed together. This achieves a soft black compared to grey if you mixed black with white.






The fur was obtained by having the whole thing painted black. Then drybrushing the cloak with a mix of grey, white and brown to create the hides of various animals that would no doubt have made up the fur coat.
