My interpretation of the iconic Clint Eastwood played character from 'High Plains Drifter'. His role in this movie seems to be the inspiration for "The Stranger" in Great Escape Games' 'The Good' expansion. the model itself is built from the plastic Gunfighter kit, with the whip/lasso arm coming from the Mounted Gunfighters box.
Skin
- Basecoat the skin with 4 parts Cadian Fleshtone , 4 parts Ushabti Bone and 1 of White . This sounds more complicated than it is, but its just an equal parts mix of two paints and a touch of white. Feel free to wing it.
- Take a little of the base colour and mix it 3:1 with Doombull Brown . Use this colour to add soft shading to the skin.
- Add more select shading with 5:1 Doombull Brown and Abaddon Black .
- Take a little of the base colour and mix it 2:1 with White . Use this colour to add highlights to the skin.
- Now mix the base colour 1:1 with White and add selective highlights.
Shirt
- Basecoat with Dark Reaper .
- Shade with some thin Corvus Black .
- Mix Dark Reaper 2:1 with Administratum Grey and add highlights.
- Increase the amount of Administratum Grey in the mix, so it is now 1:2 and highlight more selectively.
- Finish with some very small Administratum Grey highlights.
