![]() Vallejo Amarillo Caqui 120 for the panzerfaust.ħ.Vallejo Yellow Green 112 for trousers and the helmets that don’t have helmet covers.Vallejo Leather Brown 147 I use for all leather details.Vallejo German Cam Orange Ochre 128 for brown details such as the wood on the rifles and canteens (the one on seen in the picture i found out was too dark to use).Vallejo Grey Green 165 for the dark canvas ammo belt.Vallejo Medium Sea Grey 158 for haversack bags.But still I will always have to make some small corrections before moving on to next step. I try to add the colors in the best order possible because on this small sized figures I can’t paint perfect, by picking the right order, hopefully my accidents will happen on a detail that haven’t been painted yet. It is necessary to pick colors slighty brighter than intended because the Army Painter varnish will darken them a bit. I will now paint all the details on the figures. Until now I have been using the same big brush for all steps.Ħ. ![]() This is the color the Fallschirmjägers camo jackets and helmet covers will have. Now it is time to give the figures their base color. I then drybrush the base with Vallejo color number 120.ĥ. This is an older version of the paint, GW have altered the colors and renamed them, but you will probably be able to find something similar.Ĥ. Normally I’m not a big fan of GW’s paints, but I really like this base colors – they have lots of pigments and shrink when it dries which helps keeping the details on the small figures. With a big brush (size 10) I paint the base with a special base color from Games Workshop. Then I add a mixture of sand (from the beach) and fine gravel (from a road mending), this is glued to the bases using a thin acrylic glue.ģ. ![]() The figures are glued on to some coins using Super Glue Gel. I used the color scheme from example 2 and 3, in the other zug’s I will probably also use the two other examples to make the overall look more rag tag style.Ģ. In the end what I found out can be summed up in this picture from a Dragon 1:35 figure box. Before painting I of course made some research on camo and colors, in this case I actually used quite some time trying to find the right uniforms for the era. I will demonstrate on some Fallschirmjägers that I am painting for my Normandy Project, but it could be almost anything other than this, the limitations comes when you want to add colors that are very bright because the Army Painter is brown and will make the figures look a bit dull and dirty (which is great for modern war themes).ġ. This is a quick guide on how I paint my 20mm wwii figures using Army Painter Quickshade.
