What colors for Greman tank commander uniforms at Leningrad
Posted by Stuart06 on Saturday, March 31, 2012 11:31 AM

I am doing a German tiger tank that fought at Leningrad.  I want to have a commander in the tank and was wondering if anyone could suggest some colors for the tank commander's uniform.  I basicall would like to stick to Acrylics (i.e. tamiya) but have heard that it might be better to use enamals.

Also,  How do you paint the eyes.  Being so small I don't think I can get the whites of the eyeball, but looking at other peoples work there is a tone of darkness that suggest eyes.

I go with black for the uniform too. Never use white for the whites of the eyes in 1/35. Lighten up flesh color a bit and use that as the whites or just add the iris and when dry a wash of burnt umber will create the eye details. It may take several attemps to get it just right.
