My go at the outstanding Empress Miniatures Late war British. Again, apologies if lots of people have seen these on Facebook, thought it was about time I went back to forums as well.

Those are really nice. Just one observation, the leather over-smock.

I used to have one, and it was very much darker in colour, and was actually quite soft. Now bear in mind, it was an old garment when I had it 40+ years ago, but the original leather was less orange and more chocolate in colour. I would be tempted to give them a wash of a brown ink, or Agrax Earthshade or similar.   

Doubtless someone else will be along shortly to tell me I am quite wrong, and the version they had utterly different :-)

Ha ha, it's a bit like field grey. I've seen them go from this to this, chose the light colour to stand out against the boring uniform. I should imagine most were in between the two. Cheers :)
