Colour question Rodgers Ranger but RP Models

[taff edwards]

Just finished preping this monster bust lol , think I might need to re-phrase that the jacket appears to be a very distinctive green , does anyone have an idea of what any of the well known paint company's acrylic might do as a comparable .
However I wanted to depicte the Ranger having been in the fold for a while on one of the epic expeditions that they did during there battles for the sake of historical accuracy would I be able to change the colour green to create something different in that it would have faded having been used in such harsh conditions when in the field I understand the the green is so very linked to this perticular group of fighting men is there you feel room for a little artistic licence

Hi guys thanks for the info I had seen Roland's rendition when he first did it , you know me Nap always thinking outside the box was thinking of mixing it up a bit I should think uniforms became a mismatch of of what they could get there hands on , I love the figure but it's just a bit pristine theses people lived rough for weeks uniforms became worn torn and degraded hats became worn and misshaped .
I have noticed with other periods that they look like they have come off the parade ground .
It's only a observation not a real grumble lol
Cheers Chris
