Marc, Sanden's fleshtones are great - most of my caucasian mixes have been based on his formulas for many years now - but these paints may not be as opaque as you'd like for painting miniatures. They are also bound in safflower oil I believe so they probably dry slower than you'd like, speed-drying under a lamp or in a crockpot would probably be a good idea.

Have you bought these already? If not you can mix simulations of all of them but it's a lot of work to be honest and you can adopt simpler techniques for the scales we work in, our smaller 'canvas' doesn't require the subtlety of colour that portraiture does.
