What the Welsh wizard said. I sometimes put an undercoat of a darker green colour underneath (eg 102 military green), with a thinner coat of 159 over, to provide some 'preshading' and contrast.

Yup, I use 75 Bronze Green as the base coat (over a black undercoat).

I use 91 as a basecoat, then a Burnt Umber wash, then drybrush 159.
Funny how we all agree on 159.

Is 159 the number of the bus I need?

It's a very agreeable number.

Avoid Vallejo XPRESS Color. All shite.

I avoid dropper bottles if I can, personal preference.

Cans arrived and used, the colours are good but I love the Dunkelgalb.

If anyone else has taken up the offer and got a free sprue of plastic hoplites they don't need, I can take them off your hands too..
