Since I probably won't be getting my paint any time in the near future, I decided to experiment with some colors that I've used in the past to (kind of) mimic the OG-107 uniform, which was used by the U.S. Army, along with a number of other countries, from the 1950's to about the 1980's (I'm sure other countries still use it).
I couldn't really find any painting guides for Korean War infantry out there, so I guess I'm the first.
Anyway, here it is!
Paints you'll need:
Vallejo Buff
Vallejo Olive Grey
Vallejo Flat Brown
Vallejo Khaki
Some sort of skin tone
Vallejo Flat Black
A black wash
Step 1: The Base
First, add a good coat of black. |
Next, drybrush on Vallejo Olive Grey, then give it a black wash (I used GW's Nuln Oil). |
Step 2: Equipment check!
Give the backpack and other equipment a coat of Flat Brown. |
This is what the helmet should look like. |
Paint the straps Vallejo Buff, and highlight the helmet Buff as well. |
Step 3: This is my rifle, this is my gun
Paint the M1 Garand (if your soldier's got one) Vallejo Flat Brown, and the metal parts either Flat Black or Gunmental. |
Step 4: Sick kicks, bro...
Paint the boots Flat Black. |
Right after the wash. |
Like I said, this is a pretty vague painting guide, so it's not completely historically accurate, but at least it's close.
Stay tuned!
