Color for uniforms/flesh?

I use a mixture of XF-65 field grey, and XF-63 german grey.
the 65 is a lighter greyish green, and the german grey is a darker more carbon (like the carbon on the M-16) kinda grey? but if you experiment with some mixing you can get the effects you want, don't forget that a lot of the old german uniforms had variations in hue when the were produced.
good luck Msgt.

FLESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Experiment, Experiment, Experiment. What works for others may not work for you, but give them a try anyway.

For the uniform colour, try this link: http://www.finescale.com/fsm/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=489

This will take you to a discussion on Field grey in the Figures section.

For faces there is no quick answer, I use Windsor and Newton Artists oils, over a base of desert yellow/flesh mixture. The techniques with oils involves laying down the colours, then brushing away almost all the paint, esentially leaving just a stain. Starting with the darke shadow colours, then working into the highlights.

For brown leather, start with a medium brown paint, then using oils apply a thick coat of darker brown oil paint, and using a completely dry soft brush, carefully wipe most of the oil paint off. this will leave a nice finish, but you must leave it for about a week to dry thoroughly.

For black leather simply paint with matt black, then dry brush with burnt sienna oil paint. this will impart a nice subtle sheen, and add a hint of brown, just taking the edge off the black.

i've got a leather color paint from model master that is really good. you might want to try that one. I cant help you on the othere though. sorry
