They're very good indeed. Which Vallejo colours did you use on the uniforms ?

That's a good question and one that would be very interesting Mark?

Which Vallejo colours did you use on the uniforms ?  

Well.......

Trousers are all the same...a base coat of Brown Sand highlighted up with Iraqi Sand

Tunics all begin with a base coat of Khaki Grey but within this group that base coat is highlighted up with the following:
Khaki Grey + Beige
Khaki Grey + Light Grey
Khaki Grey + Pale Sand
Khaki Grey + Dark Sand
Khaki Grey + Iraqui Sand
Khaki Grey + Off White

Puttees and leather equipment: Gray Green highlighted up with Off White

Sun helmets: Desert Yellow washed with a mid brown ink then Dark Sand with a Pale Sand highlight.

The officer in the White Sahariana tunic begins with FOUNDRY Boneyard B, then Boneyard C and a final highlight of Vallejo Off White. His trousers are Grey Green highlighted up with Off White.

Really beautiful job.

Thank you for the tutorial.

Outstanding work - I especially like the officer's white jacket.  Thanks also for the colours, always useful.  Inspiring stuff!

  Time to start the Italian East Africa project? Does anyone know if they mix well with Empress, Artizan and Warlord Italians?

They do, I have all four.  The Artizan are the biggest but the other three are a fairly good match.  I've got some Perry and Warlord Italians on the painting table and will put up a comparison shot when I'm done.
