Hi David. Thanks for update. For Russian greatcoats c.1854 I use Mission Models 'sand grey' which is the closest match I could find to the plates in the old Imperial Russian army uniforms book by the brothers Mollo (used as the mid tone, of course). The issue I have with Russian greatcoats is that in primary literature they are universally described as 'grey' - whereas virtually every war artist since depicts them as some shade of brown. I am assuming some form of trick of the Balaclava light, in the case of Russell at least.

Thank you for the above. I checked the Mission Models website and it looks like they have several Sand Greys. Is the one you are referencing "Mission Models - MMP-016 Sandgrau RAL 7027"?

@@ZenMiniPainting The one I use for the base colour is the 'IDF Sandgrey version 1' - MMP-037'. By the time it is shaded and highlighted the effect is pretty much the same as the one you reference (i.e. the greyish beige that Mollo depicts). Under a low-watt bulb at a distance (intended to simulate Russell's view of Rhyzhov's cavalry coming over the hill in early morning - !!) it looks more grey than brown, lol.

For your bronze try Darkstar molten metals brass colour. A really good range of metallics.

Some nice figures. Were those old Citadel colors in the background? The Relic Miniatures stood on the two pots. I still have some of this colors. After all these years, only the metallic colors have dried out. The others are indestructible. 😄 You were really busy in the hobby. 👍

Those are Wargames Foundry paint pots. I think the Spearshaft colours. Those are almost 20 years old at this point. I still have several of my old Citadel colours, even some old hexagonal pots.

I can suggest Citadel Contrast Skeleton Horde and/or Aggaros Dunes over a zentithal applied white on black gives a great mid yellowy brown which I think looks good for greatcoats

Thank you for the suggestion. Never used contrast paint before, but sounds like it might work well.
