esb Right ear color questions
on the right ear, I have no color on the rouge studios on what color to paint it.
i noticed a color called earth on a couple of lists, that was not on some of the other lists.
also, what color should I paint the rangefinder?
and I noticed for the kill stripes color it has up armor yellow and milw orange. are these colors mixed together?
Thanks for any help on this.
:thumbsup :fettesb
Re: esb Right ear color questions
It's on the list..."Panzer Dark Yellow" you will have to tone it down a bit with some silver if you don't have aluminum ears.
Re: esb Right ear color questions
hey thanks for info. do i need to tone it down, if my resin ear pieces are base coated silver? and if not can you mix enamel with acrylic?
:thumbsup :fettesb thanks.
Re: esb Right ear color questions
I think you'll be fine with a basecoat of aluminum.........I had good success going that route. Besides there is alot of final weathering of a light gray,rust,black wash needed to be done to the whole helmet upon completion that the Panzer Yellow will tone down even more.
I was also wondering the same about acrylics being mixed with enamels,but that's what the RS tips said ;)

The stripes start solid yellow in the front and transition over to solid orange at the end.
When I did mine I painted al the stripes yellow, then when dry, I hit the rear part of the stripes with the orange and faded them over in the middle.
