I want to buy a painted set or army

What panzer colors were used in this winter snow combat?

It’s not perfect, but it has the same level of detail as a regular axis and allies piece considering it’s size. I’m not sure I will need help designing anymore. I figured it out for myself.[0_1603832941634_Type 59 (1).stl](Uploading 100%)

@Field-marshall said in Soviet Mountain Troops 1/72 - Ultima Ratio:

For starters just take a fine brush and apply a little wash in the bottom of any recessed areas to create the shadow effect. This is called “pin washing” and it is very effective at getting those details to pop out. You can make your own wash by taking a dark color paint and diluting it about 50/50.

Use dark dark brown on warm colors and black for cool colors for the wash?

Dry brushing is also almost like magic. First few times I did it, it wasn’t perfect but added a lot. After a few more tries,it just gets better.

I haven’t painted anything in years.

Thanks, will give that try.  The other/combined issue is that it is so pliable that the plastic bends and the paint peels off also.  Might even try a dip in super glue or something.

@Caesar:

That chart is nice but it doesn’t name the color, I guess I am best off just going into a model shop with an infantry and compare colors.

The vallejo color is middlestone.  To me I like to think of it as limabean green or pea green.

That works, Looks great :-D

So cool! The centurion is one of the few V1 pieces that play well scale-wise with the V2 15mm units.

Just do a google search for WWII chinese infantry. Here is something I found on the first page of search (search “images”). Its a box top from a very reputable model company. This copy is a bit small, you can look for a larger version. Chineese seem to come in either a catachan green or my personal choice: a pale grey color (with a slight touch of bluish-green). But I have also seen what looks to be pea green. The chinese army has not as stricktly color-coordinated as, say, the nazi army, so you have some flexability.
