Well down to the greens....

As I am using spray cans and the little cans of Tamiya are a bit expensive I have done a test run using some colours suggested to me by Jayvee.

From left to right

Colorbond 'Wilderness' - helmet, armour, gaunts, jetpack

Colorbond 'Cottage Green' - misting armour

Fiddly Bits 'Heritage Green' - misting armour

Tamiya 'Field Gray' TS-78 - helmet, armour, gaunts, Jetpack

Taniya 'Olive Green' AS-14 - left ear

Tamiya 'Dull Red' TS-33 - for sienna on right shoulder

Squirts 'Clay Stone' - for sienna on right shoulder

The Wilderness colour and Field Gray are so very close its not funny. Wilderness is probably a little glossier but matt sealer over the top should be ok. I could use the Tamiya for the helmet as there isn't much there.

Not sure if Wilderness is ok for the rest of the armour as the rest of the armour looks darker. Would I use it as a base and build up the colour misting with the other darker green and then with weathering?

The Cottage Green and Heritage Green are pretty close the Heritage Green being a bit darker. Both are a little glossy. Would either one of these be ok for misting on the armour to darken it up?

The Tamiya Olive Green looks a bit dull, should I look for a more greener green for the left ear?

Thoughts or suggestions please :)
