WW1 Western front

[simon 64]

Could any body recomend suitable paints for the uniforms on a British WW1 western front model? I usualy use acrylics but I'm open to any suggestions in any medium. Thanks in advance.

Vallejo or Andrea English Uniform is near enough Simon.

Agree with Carl, you can add a very small touch of Russian Uniform if you wish, but the basic English uniform is pretty close.

I used Vallejo's English Uniform with a dash of Khaki.

For me, the English Uniform, straight from the bottle, was a little too Brown.

Thanks for that pte, time to try all those different ideas, surely one of the great things about the hobby

Remember that WW1 uniforms were khaki drill (brown), not khaki drab (green) and that webbing was often 'blancoed', giving it a greenish hue.

Good luck,

Mike

This shows the variety of khaki Simon.
