Advice for painting Gurkhas.
« on: February 21, 2014, 03:11:06 PM »
Hello gentlemen.

I'm working on some modern brits for my modern wargaming and i'm wanting to do a fire team up as Gurkhas. Does anyone know what paints to use for there skin and does anyone know if someone does a 28mm scale khukuri.

Thanks for your time.

Would love to see them when you get them painted up.
