Hello Peeps It's been a little while since I've talked to any of you and I hope your all well ? On to business I'm trying to paint paint some 1:48 figures and I have some Japanese chaps to paint and I can't seem to get the skin tone right. I have been using Citadel colours none of which seem right I have also tried the AV colour range too NB I really don't wish to use oils as I personally think this scale is too small to be messing about with oils There that may have set the cat amongst the pigeons |

TBH I would think about starting with a Caucasian skin tone as base and darken with some washes. Japanese complexions vary from pale to dark and are not that far off western tones. I think Citadels range might work with some mixing.

I was told by a chap from IPMS Salisbury (I think) about a wash that Citadel make - he seemed to swear by it. Not tried it, but from the figures that were on the stand at Yeovilton I would say it was good. Can't remember the name, but it should be obvious, should you decide to try it. |

You might try the range that model color do with five types of skin tone, they are water based and can be used as washs with a little water added. This is all I use on figure complexions.
