I'm going to be painting up my excellent Czechoslovakian prewar figures from Emil Horky. There are lots of good pictures of these guys, mostly reenactors, on the web. I just can't figure out what color paint to use on them. They seem greener than British battle dress . Has anybody painted up any Czech early war/prewar figures who can tell me what paint they used? Thanks much |

I thought I had discussed this with Emil -- but my email-trail only shows us talking about various police and "security" troops' uniforms in 1938. I have some of his figures -- unpainted. I've toyed with painting them like WG recommends their British, but also like they recommend painting their French. I.E., do I paint them "khaki-brown?" Or "khaki-green?" I've sent him an email, to see what are his thoughts on this. |

Thanks for the comments. He wrote to me "The exact uniform hue is still a problem for me. I have tried some, but the result was not perfect. The closest is olive drab, but it needs a lot of adjusting" |
