Acrylics Buff.

[housecarl]

What colour is buff, as in Continental army? I'm thinking English uniform and Iraqi sand. Or the option is German camo beige, its for this.
Thanks in advance,
Carl.

Buff is a yellow-brown colour. Here's what Wikipedia says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buff_(colour)

Vallejo do a colour called Buff..

Serves me right for not looking Edward, just seen it.
Thanks,

Vallejo buff could work,i think that a mix between pale sand and english uniform will work really good.

 

[Edward]

I'd avoid English Uniform if it has a green tinge at all..

 

[MarquisMini]

ok,in that case i will use Vallejo buff,i think it will work fine for you.

I suppose you could describe a manilla envelope as being buff.
Vallejo medium flesh tone 70860 looks buff to me,but so is light kahki from Humbrol or dessert sand .

I can't help you out with a colour mix mate but I love the choice of figure , it should look great once you've settled on your colour scheme . Why not try and pick up an old airfix George Washinton kit and add a horse to this figure . "A trooper without a horse is like a Tank without tracks"

Chippy I suggested he do a 'horse wedgie' but he's not having it.

Thanks fpr the suggestions.

If you really want to push the envelope,try vallejo Panzer aces afrika korps highlights,I think it could work

 

[housecarl]

I've found that English Uniform and Iraqi sand gives a nice warm colour. By increasing one or the other, that’s the highs and shadow. Then a touch of Ivory for the highest highs.
Thanks again Daniel,
Carl.
