Thanks for the compliment chap! Regarding the paints, I used gunze mr color laquers and mixed them using just primary colours to match ref pics of studio model so I cant really remember exact mixtures im afraid. I did however use gunze grey green 128 straight out of the bottle as its seems an almost exact match for the light beigey, grey green on studio model. Most of the tonal differences were achieved when weathering with the usual oil paints (umber,black,ochre and oranges etc). Also worth mentioning that I used humbrol flat acrylic varnish which I decanted from can and sprayed after oils had been applied, then did another round of weathering with oils (gives a different kind of effect) and chalks then sealed again with varnish. Its very matt and dusty looking but that's how studio model appears to me! I would also say to ignore the Tamiya paints that finemolds recommends as they are quite inaccurate, to my eyes anyway! Hope that helps ya m8

Beautiful job on this model. I love the color selection, your right about the grey green color looks perfect. Nice
and gritty like it 's been used. Love the lighting.
