Miniart does 2 sets of British desert schemed soldiers. I'm sure they could be made to fit with little extra work. Problem is finding them.I have been messing about with a figure this week, its my second proper attempt and its better than my first so thats always a good thing, hopefully the third will be better than my second
I have a real problem getting a Mat finish still, nothing works from Humbrol Mat coat to Mig lucky Ultra Mat so obviously the problem is with me rather than the product. I do have success with Tamiya rattle can mat coat but only for the first 1/4 of the can, after that it goes semi gloss...
At the moment i am thinking this could be humidity as high humidity is always a problem living on an island ...

I have searched most of the paint sets available here and no one seems to do a North African set for British uniforms. Of course i can mix but the advantage of a set is being able to repeat colours over time without the mix and match process.
Remember the photo that Bob's (Moon Puppy) dad took of two Korean G.I.s in different color uniforms? I am sure that the uniforms of the British in North Africa were of the same kind of thing. I doubt that they were all the same color or condition. They were "similar" but with sun, heat, sweat, and other things they were all slightly different so don't worry about the colors matching as long as they are similar.I have searched most of the paint sets available here and no one seems to do a North African set for British uniforms.

Its not the figures James, its the correct colours. you can buy paint sets for Northern Europe and even Africa corps but nothing English N Africa.
