My British VSF forces will be using only vehicles made out of tubes. As any Londoner will know the conundrum goes:
"Anyone who ever went anywhere, went so at least in part by the tube"

I'm quite in doubt about what colour to paint it?
I'm leaning towards bronze or brass... but then again - that's a bit boring isn't it?
Blue is out of the question. Green too. And white is a pain in the x.
The infantry will be grey like the Sudan British.

As I said over the weekend, a dark green with red or white pin striping along the edges; if you look at a lot of late victorian, pre-war steam engines they're often a dark rich colour (green or red seem to be favourites)with a line painted in a contrasting colour just inside the edges.

These vehicles could easily have been made by a former locomotive builder.
