Opaque Colors - Khaki Bone

Opaque Colors - Khaki Bone (Green Stuff World)

Khaki Bone is a light bone tone with a muted khaki cast from the Opaque Colors modeling line by Green Stuff World. The name of the line denotes, with this maker, opaque shades, that is paints meant for covering a surface rather than for tinting. The shade is among the most used light tones of all, because it suits organic and textile surfaces alike and at the same time works as the light when highlighting beige areas.

Where the color is used

On fantasy bases and busts it is bones, skulls and tusks. On historical figures it is canvas, shelter halves, bandages, straps and webbing, ropes and lines. On vehicles it is faded desert equipment, tarpaulins and wood dried out by the sun. And because it is light, it also serves to finish edges with a dry brush where pure white would already look out of place.

Use

• Stir the paint thoroughly before work, so that the shade stays the same throughout.
• Apply it in two or three thin coats rather than one heavy one; the texture of the surface then stays readable.
• Let each coat dry properly before you add another.
• Take up only a minimum on a dry brush and wipe off the excess, so that you bring out the edges alone.
• Close the pot properly after work and wash the brushes at once, not the next day.

Who the color is for

It will be reached for by modelers of figures and of historical vehicles and by a player painting a whole army who needs a reliable light tone for bone and textile. Shades from one line mix with each other without trouble, so you can easily build your own transitions from them. The paint works equally well on plastic, resin and metal models, provided the surface is clean and prepared with a primer.

Keep out of the reach of children. Work on a protected surface and in a well-ventilated room, and wash your hands afterward.
