Now you can see the result of the next stage -- or, if you're like me, two stages. If you want to practice your Dallimore technique, you won't find a better time to experiment than with these
cheap and cheerful figures. (Even the new metal ones are only 40p per infantry figure.) First of all, using Dwarf Flesh, I highlighted the outline of the face, leaving the eye sockets, mouth
area and under the jawline dark. then with Elf Flesh, I've highlighted the forehead, nose and cheekbones.

On figures as crude as this (not helped by having to shave flash lines off the figure) I've made no attempt at blending the shades. The intention here is to create a mass effect that, viewed
at arm's length, might just convince the viewer that these little fellas have facial features. I won't be winning any prizes with these!

You could quite happily skip the Elf Flesh stage if you wanted to, or mix the two to create a mid-light shade and paint the general face outline with that, leaving the mouth and eye sockets.
We won't be painting eyes on these figures! At this scale distance you couldn't see them, and with big battalions, that way lies madness! Leave such finesse for your personality figures.
