Japanese Indigo Colored Paints
« on: December 29, 2014, 10:56:13 PM »
Can anyone recommend a good paint that matches that indigo color we see in many kendo uniforms?

As well as a non-white highlighting color to mix in?

I think it looks great and would like to use it for some 28mm samurai.

Thanks!

Vallejo Model Color Oxford Blue (70807), shaded with black and highlighting with a khaki should do the trick... :)
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...
