If you're working in 1/35, the differences between a middle eastern caucasian and a midwestern caucasian would be negligible. The most notable differnce would be the predominance of black hair as opposed to blond, brown or red shades. I use only burnt sienna and titanium white for my flesh tones, but if pressed, I might add just the lightest hint of a cooler brown, such as van dyke brown to the mix.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Arabic skin tones
Posted by Bones-coa on Saturday, July 24, 2004 7:58 PM
Modelers, I'm somewhat of a newbie when it comes to painting figures. Therefore, I was using this gentlemen's methods fo painting a figues face using the same paints he has suggested. http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/magazine/2001/12/stuff_eng_tech_paint_faces.htm

However, in my case, my figures will be Iraqi and therefore will have a different skin tone than this article. I was orginally just going to add some brown to the 50/50 mixture of thinner and Warm Skin Tone he suggests in step 2, but I thought I'd ask here first. Any suggestions on accomplishing this?

Thanks.
Dana
