Am working on some 20mm VC and NVA figures. Any suggestions on proper flesh colors to use? Thanks. |

Google some photos of Vietnamese men. How much do you think they vary from the "man in the street" where you are? In other words, why not use a normal tanned, outdoorsy skin tone? |

Someone makes various flesh tone colors, but can't recall whom right now. They look quite nice, and are acrylics. |

Bezmozgu7, head over to the Guild (link provided below), sign up as a member and then access the Tutorials sections. What's more, you'll also be able to see the works of others who do Nam in 20mm. link |

Yup join The Guild… Lots on there as I just finished my Nam 20mm project and a few others are working on stuff for Vietnam. My mate has just done his NVA. He used GW Bronzed Flesh with a wash of GW Sepia Wash over it. He aint the best painter in the world but it came out really well and looks good. |
