Assembly:
I decided to then paint the Alguaciles, they're the three troopers
sharing the same uniform. Things went wrong went I tried attaching
the backpack pieces to the bodies. They'd rather stick to my fingers.
I just placed a blob at the center where both parts should mate but
it doesn't stick. Then tried adding to the sides, still doesn't
stick. Then, finally, I just placed superglue on the entire area and
left it on the table instead of the recommended action of applying
pressure.
What probably went wrong: Not properly rinsed and not dry enough. It was cold that night. So I wasn't sure if the cold metal piece I was holding was wet or dry. So I dabbed the rest with a ball of toilet paper. And tried drying another using a lighter which might not be a good idea, because of soot.
Then, the arms won't align properly for the troops holding the rifle with both hands. I managed to align it by simultaneously gluing both arms to the body and holding it there for half a minute.
Then, for the second one, I tried forcing them to align. It broke. And since it was bent when it broke. I had to file it off a bit.
Initial painting:
I still have few colors available. Flesh tone, unfortunately, isn't one of them.
For the dark part of the uniform I used:
2 parts Pure Black, 1 part Pure White.
Thinned it out with a few drops of water since applying too thick makes it blacker. Ended up being too dark anyway.
For the hand grips of the rifle and pistol:
1 part Mud brown + 1 part Pure white
For the skin:
brown + aged bone for skin
and
Mud brown + Blood red + Bright Skin Highlight
For the backpack:Diluted Mud brown. 1 part paint to 3~5 parts water. I have a puddle near the paint and I just dragged on the water to the paint.
I also used this for the overall wash of the uniform.
Still not yet complete. But currently okay for tabletop quality.
