Italian uniform colour

[billyturnip]

Hi everyone.
I have just joined the forum but I've been painting for awhile now, mainly Napoleonics. I have fairly recently got into WW1 figures. The Fusilier, Metal Modeles and at the moment I am painting a Andrea 54mm French Infantryman.
I really like ther look of the Italian figs by Metal Modeles and wondered if any forum members have any tips for getting the right shade for WW1 Italian uniforms.
I use acrylics either by Andrea, Coat d Arms or the ones from Games Workshop.
Thanks.

Hey Billy!

Welcome to the planet! I hope to see some of your work and looking forward to your activity on the forums!

I don't have a clue about the Italian WW1 stuff though, but Im sure someone knows though!

Again, welcome to pF!

Thanks for the welcome fella's. Unfortunately I haven't got a digital camera so the only way I can show any of my figs at the moment is by laying them on the scanner and scanning 'em. Far from ideal I know but here goes anyway.
Hopefully I'll get some help with my Italian uniform colour soon.
Cheers,
Billy.

Whoops! Forgot to say he is a Fusilier figure of the London Scottish during the First World War.
