Painting American Indians - flesh tones?

[Harry Faversham]

I'm after a Vallejo base colour for 15mm Cheyenne Indians. What shade of brown would the Brethren recommend for my new 2022 project please?

Vallejo Native American 96.9870.

Can't find 'Vallejo Native American 96.9870.' anywhere?

Scale Color's Arabic Shadow would probably suit; their Indian Shadow may be to red.

Edit: just a short scroll down the page: link.

Don't use Vallejo so can't help there but I find using a ruddy flesh base with a red-brown wash always gives a good native American skin tone - that's my go to and I'm not picky about brands.  And, of course, I do this in 15 mm.  Hope that is of some use.

Thanks chaps.

I use Vallejo Model colour in the following order:

1. Black undercoat
2. Chocolate Brown 70872
3. Cork Brown 70843

I then add a Armypainter wash on top.

A few images based on this formula:

Foundry’s Native American sets good, you could even use the South American one too
