Just received some really nice figures from Brigade Games Drug War Z kick starter and I am needing some suggestions for the color of the Policia figures uniforms.
I have looked at photos of modern day uniforms and 3 color schemes seem to prevail. One is a navy blue, another is a lighter blue and finally an army green.
Any advice? |

I went with navy blue for my figures. |

I've seen police in both green and khaki uniforms in Baja California. Police cars are green and white. |

Navy blue is the uniform color in Mexico City. |

BTW – I'm using Stan Johnson Iraqi police for my Mexicans. They have baseball type caps and most have oversized mustaches. I did swap out their AK-47s for M-16s. A side bonus for this scheme is they can very easily stand in a 20th century American SWAT teams |

Thanks everyone.
I believe I am going to go with the navy blue. |
