The 'base coat painting was:
- General Shade: [First Shade of] Vallejo Burnt Umber Wash
- Uniform: Vallejo British Uniform Green [Model Colour]
- Flesh: Vallejo Dark Flesh [Game Colour]
- Boots: Vallejo Black [Game Colour]
- Webbing: Vallejo Khaki [Model Colour]
- Weapon Stock: Vallejo Beasty Brown [Game Colour]
- Gun Barrels: Vallejo Gun Metal [Game Colour]
- Helmets and Large Weapons: Vallejo Russian Green [Model Colour] - note in the past I made the faux pas of applying "gun metal" to Vickers HMG, PIATs and Mortars instead of a basic green as per the helmets.
Another Vallejo Brown Wash follows (see below: a close-up of the British PBI - it seems to be an intense study in shades of green, brown and khaki):
Highlights follow - I took one coffee stirrer of infantry through the remaining regime of:
- General Shade: [Second (lighter) Shade to blend] Vallejo Burnt Umber Wash
- Uniform (Highlight): Vallejo Grey Green [Model Colour]
- Flesh (Highlight): Vallejo Flesh [Model Colour]
- Boots: Vallejo Black "light touched up if needed" [Game Colour]
- Webbing: Vallejo Khaki "again as the wash had darkened the webbing" [Model Colour]
- [NA] Weapon Stock: Vallejo Beasty Brown "was left dulled" [Game Colour]
- [NA] Gun Barrels: Vallejo Gun Metal "was left dulled" [Game Colour]
- Helmets and Large Weapons (highlight): Vallejo Russian Uniform Green [Model Colour] - note in the past I made the faux pas of applying "gun metal" to Vickers HMG, PIATs and Mortars instead of a basic green as per the helmets.
I was pleased with the end result (see below, a suitably murky brown and green mix):
Next "to do" is the remaining eight coffee sticks of infantry and support weapons.
