Anyone have a good one? I use mostly Reaper, Vallejo and GW paints. Also Coat D'arms, for all those GW colors you can no longer get. |

Have a look at the Wargames Foundry range of paints, I think they do just what your want. |

I use Anita's Craft Paint 11080 Moccasin Brown which I think looks the job. |
| MajorB | 07 Mar 2015 12:20 p.m. PST |
Coat d'Arms 124 Dwarven Flesh works for me. |

Someone does a range of flesh paints for various ethnicities, which look quite good. Can't recall who does that though. I've seen them in the hobby shop, a decade, or so, ago, so don't know if they are still produced. This was in a US retailer. They came in short, white, plastic containers, IIRC. |

Look at Reaper Red Browns. |

I use Stone Mountain Miniatures' Colors range. C13 Amerindian. I think it looks good. Mako, I think this is the range you're thinking of. |

I used Humbrol leather enamel on my 15mm Plains Indians. |
| Winston Smith | 07 Mar 2015 2:56 p.m. PST |
White prime with cheap $.99 USD Walmart Flat White.
I use GW Dark Flesh diluted by wet brush. |

This one looks really good to me: auction You can start with the mid-tone as base. Followed by the shading in the deep recesses and then finally hit the edges with watered down combination of mid and high mix or high alone. That depends on the artist. |

I did an article on my blog using single color options and Reaper triads. link |

If you're not using the skin tone as regimental colors, it's might be worth pointing out that Indians have a wide range of skin tones -- kinda like the Mediterranean. If you're using the color as a unifying theme, then have at. |

As mentioned above link
link Romans in an earlier post, very similar. |
| Glengarry5 | 08 Mar 2015 4:44 a.m. PST |
I use Ceramcoat Dark Flesh |

For Mako 11:
I think you may be remembering Howard Hues paints, made in the USA.
They are still available from several suppliers, including Monday Night at link
I have used many of these colors with good results. |

Here is a pretty detailed article on ethnic skin tones. link |
| Dexter Ward | 09 Mar 2015 3:43 a.m. PST |
I use a pink-ish skin tone (Liquitex deep portrait pink) followed by a wash of Antelope Brown ink. This gives a good skin tone for Asian or Native American skin. A nice golden colour. |
| The Angry Piper | 09 Mar 2015 7:00 a.m. PST |
Thanks to all! Some good ideas here. |

Someone does a range of flesh paints for various ethnicities, which look quite good. You might also be thinking of the old Ral Partha brand paints. They had a nice selection of "ethnic" skintones, including american indian. I cried when the last of mine dried up. :-( |

Well, heck, I didn't know Stone Mountain had a range of paints. Now I do. Sounds like the way to go for flesh tones and equine ones as well. At least when the craft paints don't fit the bill. Maybe for certain metallics as well. However, in a pinch, a good base skin tone and then a wash with thin red brown seems to do the trick very nicely. I use it a lot – and I've painted a lot of natives with a LOT more to go. |
| Rudysnelson | 19 Mar 2015 3:46 p.m. PST |
For me I always liked the Howard Hues/Regal paints flesh tones and horse colors as well. |
