Color range for my Japanese army!

In this post, I will go through the color palette I am using to paint my army. I realize that some colors would be not 100% historically accurate, but I weight more the final look of the miniatures than the historical accuracy, and also try to keep the painting economical by using the same color on several elements.

• Color range:
• Battlefront Quartermasters Paint set:
•  Army Green
• Battlefield Brown
• Black
• Dark Gunmetal
• Dry Dust
• European Skin
• Military Khaki
• Skin Shade
• Wool Brown
• Worn Canvas

Last but not least, I fix the miniatures to the top of a paper glue stick with blu-tack, helping to hold them while painting.

In the next posts I will detail step by step how I painted my infantry.
