Painting the fur cloak: Started with Vallejo Light Brown mixed with little bit of Burnt Umber. Then highlighted with Ivory – drybrushed over the basecoat – layer by layer, with the outer edge be the lightest color.

Painting the beard and helmet: I painted the beard using Vallejo Red Leather followed by adding GW fiery orange to create a bright red bearded Viking. Continued with painting black on the mask for basecoat. I use new method for the mask. I mixed Vallejo Gun Metal (metallic paint) with Vallejo neutral grey) and the highlight was Vallejo Silver with neutral grey mix. So, it’s MM/NMM mix, painted with NMM method. I don’t know what to call that method J I’m pretty happy with the result. It still has shine of metallic but nice clean highlight of NMM in person.

Painting the tunic and tabard: I painted the tunic blue to contrast with the red beard. Basecoat with Vallejo Blue, Highlighted with GW Ice blue. Then I painted the border design with black, followed with GW Snakebite Leather and Bubonic Brown with touch of ivory on the top and bottom for final highlight. The tabard was painted by using the same MM/NMM mix method (Vallejo gun metal with neutral grey)
The rest of the metallic object on the figure (sword, hilt, bracelet) were also painted using MM/NMM mix. I hope you all like him. I had fun experimenting this new method on him.
