Good to see more of your work, Andrei. I like the shade of Khaki you have chosen. I have always struggled to find a shade I am happy with, and am still searching for the perfect recipe.

And now, thanks to Google Translate I (probably) know the Russian for God Save the Queen!

[Andrei1975]

Thank you for evaluating my work. God save the queen!

Great work!

[Andrei1975]

Andrei,

Very nice!

I still have a battery's worth (3) of those screw-guns waiting to be painted up.  Hope they will turn out as well as yours.

[Andrei1975]

Thanks friends! I am very glad that you appreciated my work! Mad, we look forward to this unit in your beautiful army!

Excellent! I have the same set in my NWF British force. Lovely models and you have painted them very well.

[Andrei1975]

Yes, the Perry brothers' miniatures are always excellent! It was nice to paint them!

Very nice Andrei. I also agree with the other comments about the khaki. Good work

Friends, if you are interested in my color khaki, I will share my way of coloring.
I use the paints Army Painter.
The basis is Desert Yellow. I add Skeleton Bone to it. The resulting color I put on a miniature. After drying I apply Soft Tone Ink. After drying, I cover with a matte varnish. I use a spray from Tamia. It will dry up when it dries.

Nice work!

Desert yellow!  This has made me want to experiment. Because for my Sikh units I wanted a slightly different colour of khaki to the British troops so they stood out on the tabletop. Thanks for the tip Andrei!

I am glad to help!
