Lawrence Of Arabia Bedouin Robes?

[PropBlast]

So now having sourced a Kirin 120mm Lawrence Of Arabia I'm now at a quandary as how to paint his Bedouin robes. The box art displays these as the typical white robes he would wear but after doing research it appears that there was quite a lot of variation as shown in the pictures below which were all worn by Lawrence himself. Not being clued up on such matters I'd love to go with the one with the red coloured kaffiyeh just for something that little bit different.

How much do you want to challenge yourself? The patterned robe would look pretty cool, certainly.

Prost!

I would assume that the sculptor would have based it on one of the many photos, so I would go with that as the basis.....

Id go for a bronze/ochre shade....

Possibly an odd source, but they are usually very good with accuracy
