Painted for the LPL.  5 Pulp Figures and an officer from Copplestone.  Conversion there - replaced the walking stick with a revolver.

I agree about the great tones on the khaki.  Can you share details of the colour palette you used please, and confirm this was a white undercoat job?

Thanks chaps. 

Just added another (better) photo

Can you share details of the colour palette you used please?

VMC "Flat Earth"
VMC "Tan Earth"
VGC "Khaki"  (Odd, that Vallejo make a paint called Khaki in their Game Colour range, and that I find it the best highlight for this type of Khaki.   ::) )

...and confirm this was a white undercoat job?

I can NOT confirm that because I always paint from a black undercoat.  Even when you see one of my figures painted white, and someone may kindly comment "great whites" it is from a black undercoat.

Painted some years ago...



...black undercoat.

Orctrader - thanks very much for the info on the colours you used. As for the undercoat,  all I can say is I would never have guessed it was black from how vivid the colours are.  Clearly I am doing something not quite right!
