Oh, that was FUN to paint! I don't usually do a very good job on people with skin tones, but dirty rags and dessicated flesh? No problemo.

The photography didn't quite get all the details, of course. But everything was done with washes of brown and black. The bandages are Panzer interior buff with a brown watercolor wash, a little black, and the occasional splotch of moldy green.

Excellent work John P! Great color choices on both the Mummy, and the sarcophagus. Great detailing, and also an excellent job on the cobra too, very realistic!
Very well done! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Excellent work, even on the stonework on the wall behind.
They never look quite as handsome as their picture on the outside of the sarcophogus, do they?!

Thanks gang! :)

The cobra gets no closeups, 'cause I didn't do very well on him. I kinda rushed him with some airbrushed stripes to finish up.

Oh, btw, the sarcophagus was painted overall Testors gold (square bottle), then airbrush-shaded with Model Master burnt iron.
