Hi guys! I want to paint a figure to my Churchill. I'm not an expert on garment colors so, I'll need some help to paint this little fella:  The only colors that I'm sure about is the black in beret and boots. And shirt, trousers, belt and pistol holster? Tamiya figures are good, but the paint instructions, I know, are terrible. Thanks in advance! |

Thanks a lot Guybro! My only concern is about the shirt (that looks like a t-shirt). So, the trousers could be "mustard" (any color reference?) but the "t-shirt", I really don't know. About the holster, perfect, I think a kind of beige color follow by a brown oil...

If it’s an officer, I like to use deck tan or khaki for the ranks.

I started to paint the little fella. So far he's looking like a Zombie  So, I don't want to show this horror here. I'll try another approach and them I'll take some pics to show the (I hope) progress. I think he needs a bit more burnt siena in his face and arms... |
