What craft paints are you using? Folk Art, Anitas, Ceramicoat, Apple Barrel? There's a big choice out there and some of the colors don't match up very well. |

americana, apple barrel, folk art. I use them all |

Wow man, that is fascinating! Are they very different from model paints? I am assuming your reliance on them is based on monetary calculations? |

they are different. I find them to cover better and have a wider range of colors, and yes they are cheaper |

Osprey Royal Netherlands East Indies Army 1936-1942
Men-at-Arms 521 1937 service uniform & insignia
Tunic was made of a 'grey-green' (actually, olive) cotton material and closed by 7 removable 13mm bronze buttons of Dutch 'lion' pattern.
Unmounted branches wore matching trousers of tapered 'breeches' cut, with puttees, and black ankle-high field shoes To be honest I don't think the plates look very olive. |
