Hi Keith,
Tunics are VMC Khaki Grey highlighted up with either VMC Stone Grey or VMC Beige. Breeches are VMC Desert Yellow, VMC Dark Sand and VMC Pale Sand. The Burberry Trench Coat is basically VMC Beige, washed with a mid brown, Beige again and Beige plus white for highlights.

If anyone is interested, I've put together a "Tommies in Hot Places" painting guide. Drop me a PM with your email address and I'll send you on a PDF copy. IT IS FREE....... you don't get much of that these days!

Mark

I've emailed you a copy. Goat. Should be in your hotmail inbox.

Perhaps I should say to all that the painting guide helps produce something like this:

Nearly impossible to cast I know but would have loved to have seen spokes on the bike wheels.
