The white of Leia's jumpsuit is a basecoat of Vallejo Game Colour Wolf Grey (a very light bluish grey). Then I applied one highlight of 1:1 Wolf Grey and White, and one further highlight of pure white. Her boots had a basecoat of Vallejo Model Colour Light Grey, with increasingly light highlights. And finally her vest was (I believe) a basecoat of sand-yellow, with similar highlighting. Then I outline all the details in black.<br />The Troopers got a similar treatment, with Light Grey for their boots, glove, holsters and backpacks. Their jackets were done in Game Colour Bone White, with a few layers of highlighting going up to White. In retrospect, Bone White was too dark of a basecoat, and it makes their coats look yellow rather than white... well, live and learn.matthewjksullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126108200355039621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-90612096885831951392016-01-03T07:59:44.331-08:002016-01-03T07:59:44.331-08:00Thanks Warburton!

Do you mind sharing what specific paints, techniques you used to paint the whites on the Hoth troopers and Leia? Back in the 90s West End Games published Star Wars miniatures rules to go with their RPG. They released miniatures in partnership with Ral Partha I believe. I still have a dozen or more of them, including Dengar. I painted them as a teen, so my artwork wasn't fabulous, but I will have to post photos of them on my blog when I get a chance. I may even be inspired to give some of them a fresh coat of paint. Thanks again for your inspiring post!Scooby Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974931863998212173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-62372083679875299082016-01-01T19:59:13.281-08:002016-01-01T19:59:13.281-08:00Great work
