Can anyone recommend a good mix of oils tro get German Field Grey for uniforms? I plan to use it as a wash over a base coat of Tamiya Field Grey and then dry brush with a light grey.

Here's the formula I use for a decent Field Grey match .... 3 parts black, 1 part blue, 1 part yellow and 6 parts white (or adjust accordingly, depending on the amount of fading you prefer).

Later,

Here is my mix: Flesh + black + Sap green

Flesh (white, yellow ochre, burnt sienna)

Mix the green until you achieve the desired color...
