Does anyone have a recommendation for WW1 Austrian Pike Gray? I'm having trouble matching this color, and I'd prefer not to have to mix it. Also, does anyone have any ideas as to what color the WW1 Austrian helmets were? I'm getting the impression they were some sort of brown ochre, but all of the stuff n my paint collection has turned out too yellow.

Vallejo 905 Bluegrey for the Pike Grey.

GARS, go to "great war society" it's the standard bearer for World War One re-enacting here in the states. They have only two main events a year but that has a huge advantage. It's always at the same place (trenches, dugouts,etc) and it's always at the same times twice a year. There is a CRAPLOAD of material available thru links on their site

What scale are you painting? This will have an impact on choice of colour.
