Making Olive drab

[slobin3d]

I need to mix up some paint for my Powerwagon Build. I need to make Olive drab but most lexan safe colors I have are pearl or metallic. What should I get to mix up to make a believable Olive. I want to paint the the body insdie and out to give it the flat look and to keep it looking good when it gets some rock rash

I'd back it with black to make it darker or white to make it lighter.

Something like this? http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...uff/GTbody.jpg

I forget what kind of paint I used but I believe it was Tamiya. I'll try to dig out the can later and find out for sure though. On the inside of the body, it looks a lot darker.

those are all the right idea but i dont think any of them will flex without flaking. there made for hord plastic models. I picked up some fascolor red, green, black, and white. we'll see what happens.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now with the exact same body!

Too funny!

If you read some of the descriptions it seys Flexes.

I think it was one of the Tamiya ones.

Ahh yeah i found it, it was the pactra, first one on the second list. but i already purchased paint to mix. lol thanks anyway

I'm going to try some blue and yellow to make green then gradually add some red until it darkens a hair.

I initially thought I could do it with a beige, green, and some black but soon found out that I should be mixing primary colors to get what I need.

Luckily I haven't wasted paint yet.

Which Power Wagon are you painting? Two or four door?

[slobin3d]

4 door. i need to find some fabric for the "canvas" look. i'm going for a 4 door ambulance look

Military hilift
