The Soldiers of the Queen...
« on: May 05, 2016, 10:27:23 AM »
I'm starting to paint my 15mm Blue Moon Afghan/Sudan Campaign British Infantry for TMWWBK. Could anyone give me some advice on painting them?
What would be the best shade of Khaki to paint the basic uniforms, as I believe they were a lighter shade than WW2 khaki, and I plan to use either Humbrol or Valejelo paints then a wash of Army Painter dark shade. Any advice would be most appreciated.

???

Buy yourself a spray can of Halfords Khakhi.
You'll have the whole lot base coated in seconds.
The shade is a bit lighter and slightly less "green" (to my eye) than Vallejo English Uniform.
Looks fine for my purposes on my NWF 28s.
