If you wanted to do something cheap, you could get some of Tamiya's "Flat Flesh" acrylics. If you want it darker, mix it with a darker paint.
"Tanks" for reading. Wow. Did I really just say that?

vespa boy There is no "flesh" colour. It is an art school joke to ask for the tube of "flesh" paint.

This ain't no Mudd Club, or C.B.G.B.,I ain't got time for that now
plastickjunkie As a base coat I use any acrylic flesh tone. I then mix my own brew using artists oils to blend and shade the face, arms, etc.

Ditto. Generally I use either Tamiya Deck Tan or Buff as a base coat. Yes, both are very very pale...but they are not intended to really be much more than a blank canvas. From there I basically uses artist oils in varying thicknesses from a paste texture to pretty much a filter to accomplish what I want color wise.

Burnt and/or raw sienna, Naples yellow, and touch of cadmium orange (also little bit of titanium white) are enough 90% of all human skin.
Many thanks for the replies I might try LifeColour or Vallejo and give them ago as lots now seems be using those now instead of enamel based paints. I'll post back when I've given either a try.
One again cheers for the tips folks.

Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
I use mostly Tamya acrylics for my 1/6th female figures and spray paint them and I get pretty good results just mixing Flesh, Flat white, red etc for base-highlights and shadows.

They're not usually used for modelling but Citadel has a large range of flesh tones and in my opinion the best acrylics for brush painting.

If the figure is vinyl, you will have to treat it first with a coat of PVA glue (Elmer's School Glue) to allow normal model paints to cure and dry on it. Just brush the PVA glue on full strength and allow to fully dry before painting. You should have no further issues.

I use Vallejo's model color shadows flesh, flesh base an british tanker crew hilight, occasionally with a little light brown or sand in there. I also use their new and old wood colors, as they actually give a nice 'tired' look to figures that should look worn out. This being said, I'm painting 48th figures, not large scale.

Try to find a Vallejo Color set,made for brush painting figures
Best bet would be the flesh "sets". No particular brand recommendation. Also, all the flesh sets I've seen are acrylic. If one has the skill level the best results are done with an air brush.
The best looking figures are not going to be just one flesh color but have darker and lighter shades for shadow and highlight areas.
Hello forum members
I'm seeking some help and suggestion on flesh paint(s). I've tried in vain over the past year to create a good quality flesh finish and colour, applying it to a 1/8 scale character.
The paints I have used are Humbrol and Revell enamels, both in raw form and mixtured as per the manufacturers recommendation with thinner. Application have been via airbrush and brush but find the finish is tacky even after months despite many attempts to play with the mixture and ratios of thinner.
I have also used Tamiya in a spray can but this is very much a tan finish and not very natural.
Can anyone recommend any paint for either airbrush or brush application that dries well and have a good natural finish, preferably enamel or will consider acrylic also.
Much appreciate any suggestions from any of you.
