Any good ideas on what colors to mix to get a nice fairly tan flesh color for painting figures?

What type of paint are you wanting to use?

I am probably gonna use Tamiya acrylic.

Their XF-15 is flat flesh.

I know they make a flesh tone, but I didn't buy it, thats why I am asking if you have any good mixture formulas.

I use Model Master and Humbrol enamels. That's all I can tell you about Tamiya acrylics

When I mix flesh colors I start with a light red/brown color, then I add some yellow and perhaps some white.

Do you use oil after a flat acrylic base? Eyes are the thing that are hard.

No Jeff, I use acrylics entirely...for now. I have it in mind to give oils a whirl...one day.

For a taned flesh try a terracotta or a reddish brown, and mix with white, and perhaps even some yellow, just make sure that the brown paint isnt to red or the face will be very reddish.

Is this for 1/35 scale flesh?

Go to Missing Links and read Mark bannerman's articles on painting figures...he's brillant and theres heaps of great methods on there.

Good luck
