Working on a Khartoum fort. Any suggestions on paint for the walls? |

Mudbrick, unlikely to have been painted, I would have thought. |

Yes, I meant to paint it to look correctly, not that they actually painted the walls. Thanks. |

Not been to the Sudan but in other bits of the Sahara the forts are generally the same colour as the mud/ground around them. They do look a lot nicer as models with a coat of whitewash though! |

I generally do desert forts with khaki colour highlighted with cream, then with a brown wash on them. This is then highlighted with cream again when dry. But for khartoum I would probably follow Martin's advice and use Cel Vinyl's wood gray 25, highlighted with their mud gray. |

I like Pictors Studio suggestion. Unpainted mud bricks still have a color and the color of the casting material can be red, gray or brown. Though some gamers like it 'sun bleached' with a white wash as an option. |
