Why not put something into FOTM as well ?

Thank you all for the compliments.

Regarding the colors used for the khaki jacket, they are as follows:

Citadel Tallarn Sand
Citadel Zamesi Desert
Vallejo Model Color Dark Sand
Vallejo Model Color Ivory
Daler Rowney Sepia Ink

Citadel paints are by Games Workshop and they name their colors accordingly to the game lore, hence the unique names.

Tallarn Sand is a rather nice khaki while Zemesi Sand is a rather bright yellow orche. I used Tallarn Sand as the basecoat and mixed the highlights as I went along. So apologies I don't have a mixed proportion for a recipe Ivory white was mixed with Dark Sand for the jacket edges and pure ivory was used sparingly at selected areas of the edges and frayed areas.

As for the shadows, it was a blend of sepia ink and Tallarn Sand with pure sepia ink going into the darkest recesses.

Hope this help

Sure, will put this into the Mar FOTM
