I'm thirsty now- great effect on the paint-job. They look brilliantly dusty and dry.

Wow, beautiful brushwork.  I have some of these and the Africa Corps as well, but am just unsure about how I want to do the uniforms.  There are great and should be a source of inspiration!

Can I as about the palette for the actual uniform?

Thanks!
