| Schutztruppe Askari from HLBSco. The model in the centre is a Feldwebel, and has consequently has piping on his uniform. The khaki puttees replaced the field grey puttees in about 1915, although they were worn simultaneously due to a shortage of uniforms. The base colour is Humbrol Dark Earth acrylic, but it has had a small quantity of yellow ochre and a dash of GW Bestial Brown added to get a closer match to the German khaki colour. As I was painting up a number of these, I mixed a quantity of the paint in a plastic film pot for convenience. |
