Vallejo and the Nissen Hut (1 Viewer)

[Rob]

Guys, would any of you painting experts be able to suggest a Vallejo paint that may match K&C's Green on their Nissen Hut? I am going to have a go at painting a desert version green and black and see how it works out{eek3}

Rob...

I find VAL016 US Dark Green does a good job but, there are several greens for allied you could look at to get the right one. VAL014 US Gunship is also a nice colour

I am confused? doesn't take much though.

A) If you are repainting it why do you need a match?

B) Would desert camo be green and black?

Rob,

Any shade of green is good, ask Simon! ^&grin Seriously though, the only acrylic matt I have used is Lifecolor LC40 Dragon Green which might be a suitable match.

Thanks to all you guys, your answers and links are very much appreciated.

Scott, I have the original green and black version now retired, I thought I'd take a desert version and paint it to match my other one.

Cheers guys

Thanks Neil, have never painted a K&C item before, but its not as scary as trying to repaint an AFV or figure:wink2:

Don't worry Jeff, I've found a solution to you hogging all of the green paint. I'm now using the water drained off my Sunday roast broccli, thickened with cornflour, and slapping that on to anything needing a hint of the green stuff.

Rob, It's not scary at all. Until it goes wrong, then it's sheer unadulterated terror.

The first few seconds are kind of numbing, when you just get that sensation that you've done something horrible, but the brain has yet to fully comprehend the magnitude of the situation. The next minute or two involve sheer panic, as you desperately try and think of some way of minimising the damage or rectifying the mistake you've just made, whilst deep down in your sub conscious, you know that it's too late.

Approximately 5 minutes later, you enter a brief period of resignation, where you accept that no matter what you do, the piece is ruined and that it it entirely your fault.

There then follows several hours of depression, where you wonder around in a daze, trying to think of something to blot out the event from your mind. Unsuccessfully.

Eventually, you'll pack the paints and brushes away, move the horredously disfigured piece in to a darkened cupboard somewhere and make veiled attempts to disassociate yourself from the piece, where it will remain for the rest of your collecting years, the images put to the back of your mind, but still burnt in to your subconscious, leaving you a shadow of your former self.


Yeah, go for it mate. What's the worst that could happen?

BTW, might be worth giving Tony a ring, as he's got both the hut and a shed load of Vallejo greens - should be able to give you the closest match. I wouldn't rely on photos or paint colour charts, as they're usually way off.

Have fun. :wink2:
