colours for confederate

[megroot]

Hello Guys,

Yesterday i got from my son a box with three figure's and a scenic base. It is all resin.
The figures are three generals, one off them is Lee. At the moment i am at work and cannot see who the other two are.
I paint in acrylics and i gladly wanted to know what blue-ish- grey color i had to give to the figures.
Even some mixes can help.

Hope somebody can help

Marc

Hi Marc!

Try with this blend:

Base colour: black+blue green974+beige brown875
Lights: Bc+Sunny skintone845+Ice yellow 858+White
Shadows: Cb+Black+Light Brown929

In any cases I used another one blend and I like it .

Cb: Prussian blue 962+Black+violet
L:Cb+Matt blue 962, in the last lights add sky blue 961
S:Cb+Black

Be Careful with the Blues its shine when drying. To avoid this, add a bit of Tamiya´s Flat Base at Base colour in every blend, just a little, little bit OK?.

Good Luck & good painting. Matito.
