Penda's Crimean War Project

[Penda]

I think I used Vallejo Japanese Uniform on mine. Have a look in the Burma 44 posts on my blog, it might say what I used. I can't recall myself. I collected them mainly because Matt sculpted them for Warlord.

I got that paint, too, but was then told it's far too "yellow" (rather ironic, given the subject matter) and I needed something browny-green. Or greeny-brown. Or both.....

[Penda]

Not my best work, but it may serve. The putees are Foundry Drab I'm pretty sure; trousers are Drab mid highlighted Vallejo Japanese Uniform; shirt and field cap are Vallejo Japanese Uniform highlighted Foundry Boneyard light. These were painted a while ago and my memory is not what it was...

Thanks - very useful to know.

Back on topic now!
The troops are in action over on the blog right now!

It's all very splendid, David.

Looking at the Japanese chap, is that ordinary static grass? It looks spot on.

Jarvis Static grass, mixed from Spring, Summer and Dried Grass. Clumps to taste from Gamers Grass.

Ah, a home made blend then. Looks good.

Ta for that.

I don't know why, but I have tried a range of Warlord metal heads on that bloody Jap medic and NONE of them will stay on!!!

My recipe is a blob of UHU Power with a drop of cheap superglue added, sets almost immediately like concrete!
