Not the Lincolnshire Yakuza. The paints.

I’m hearing a lot of good things about the Foundry flesh sets. No. Not that cult Purps belongs to. The paints.

Anybody tried them and have any thoughts (the paints that is)?

I hear that not a metal pour takes place without protection money being paid to the local chniese restaurant.

Only used the "plain vanilla" flesh triad, but found it perfectly good; I'm guessing you are looking at the "negro flesh" triad? If so, I've heard good things. The bonus of the triad system is that you can always find lighter and darker palettes that "continue the thread" and allow you to use a "shade" pot as the middle one.

Thanks BvR. Not really looking for anything specific, I believe you can buy a set with all the flesh tones in it. Was just wondering if it was decent. Will probably cost a kidney, right arm and left foot if it’s from Foundry

I’m quite happy with the skin tone I have for my Zulus. Armypainter Oak Brown with a heavy Armypainter Strong Tone wash. And it’s quick and simple, always useful when painting farsends of ‘em

I've used the African and European Foundry Triads for years, always been happy with them although these days I do a final coat with Vallejo Flesh Wash for the pinky's.

You paint their little fingers separately? Wow, that's dedication!
