With the yellow shades I used Vallejo Iraqi sand, pale sand and ivory highlight. For belts on the uniforms I have skipped the pale sand mid tone and it works better.Paulalbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03482911273863430204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079714099175013853.post-53690129753717387162015-12-06T08:15:36.592-08:002015-12-06T08:15:36.592-08:00Good to hear from you Darren!
