Polda 4,281 Posted January 3 (edited) If you are looking to save a lot of time you could probably just prime with something like Army Painter Fur Brown and wash with Agrax or Seraphim sepia. Then stipple Mechanicus Standard Gray/Leadbelcher using a torn foam or sponge to add the scratches. Then more subtle stippling of black. I primed my droids with Tamiya Oxide Red, but then took them in a slightly different direction. I think if you wash them with Agrax or maybe a bit redder Agrax + Carrobourgh crimson mix it should get you to the desired color pretty easily.

John79 47 Posted January 3 I am just taking a quick look at this, but I think vallejo's blonde, british uniform, or something between might be a start. Even scale75's birch might look really nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kgwradford 29 Posted January 4 nice polda i was wondering what base coat you used in your pics i have done some test minis with the army painter brown didnt get the effect i wanted but didnt think of mixing agrax and crimson just use both them on there own may pick up the tamiya as i know it works and we have a local model shop that sells mostly tamyia so should be easy to get.
