Does anyone have a suggestion for the right paint for Austro-Hungarian guns? There was a discussion on this board a few years ago but the links are defunct. |

Some years back when I painted my 1914 AustroHungarians I found a site which said they were painted ochre brown. So I did. It was also said later in the war they were more of a green color. I have no clue how accurate this info is but I couldn't find much either. |

All of the images I have seen from photographs and museums show a darkish green or a mid to dark gray. WWI Austrian post card art -- to my eye -- tends to be ambiguous. Is that green or gray? I have also seen reenactment photos with green artillery pieces. |

Here are some examples in 6mm:
The guns are painted in the green brown colour, examples of which can be seen in the war museum in Vienna. I used Vallejo Model Air Green Brown, covered with a sepia wash and then layers of Green Brown lightened with Iraqi Sand. Robert |
