I have started painting the back pack first so i can feel more free on getting the color i want, and its easy to replace if i make any big mistakes!
I'v just done the basecoat and shaddows and highlights so far.
I have used 50/50 mix of Camo Green and Gretchin Green for the bace coat, 60% paint 40% water
for all my shaddows and highlights i dilute the paint quite alot , 60 - 70% water
I like to add the highlights first as its easyer to correct mistakes, for the first hightlight i added 25% Rottin Flesh
and then the seccond highlight 25% more
last highlight is just Rottin Flesh on its own but i my add some white yet.
For the first shaddow i mixxed 5% Dark Angels Green and 90% catachan Green and added that 50/50 to the base coat
Second shaddow iv added about 25 - 40% more to the mix
For the last shaddow i have used 50/50 Catachan Green and Shadow Grey in a very light wash and 50/50 Catachan Green and Red Gore but as you can see you cant realy see it yet!
for the next few steps i will be adding dilute washes and goin back over highlights and shaddowsuntill im happy, then i will be adding weathering after i have done the metal
so far i have undercoated the metal area's 40% graveyard earth 60% Boltgun Metal
any comments are welcome

Yes i do use this technique, but to get a smoother blend i also use brush strokes in other directions across parts of the model that havent blended well , i never just brush "down" i brush down, diagonal, left and right in thin layers a bit like cross hatching but all ways into where u want the paint to fall.
its harder to cover dark areas so i try and leave them until last, but i go back and forth between lights and darks
i may do a video on youtube soon to cover my techniques im setting up my own site soon aswell

rly cool mini man. Ive never rly been a big fan of banners but it looks kinda cool on this mini especialy if you do that skull design. keep it up dude cant wait to see it painted.
Ohmyohmyohmy! :O
Now, I really like the start of this paintjob!
Lets see, greenstuffing, check. Painting, check... Next you're gonna tell us you're a great lover and a master chef as well right? This'll turn out really, really nice.
I just had to edit, How the heck did I miss your first post of the painted backpack?
