I have plans to do a British tank using the caunter scheme..does anyone have suggestions on colour mixing for accuracy?..I usually use Tamiya paints..

Hey Jim - I've been looking at this myself in the last couple of days and found some interesting ideas here:

There are also a few other threads on the Painting forum that I found helpful.

I'm still looking for some ideas for mixing Portland Stone using Vallejo MA or MC too...

See if this helps guys




These are mixed from swatches from Mike Starmers book.

Thanks Andy - I actually tried to order some Portland Stone before you posted that, but as usual I can't get PayPal to work. Once I get it sorted out, what are your recommendations for thinning DOA paint for airbrushing?

Hello mate D.O.A paints dont need thinning at all.But if you think you must just a drop of normal every day tap water will do the job.

Hi

I know Extracolor do the correct colours in their enamel range so they might also be available in their Extrcrylic range as well.
