A medium dark brown with the warm undertone of tanned leather. A Green Stuff World acrylic paint for belts, holsters, bags and harnesses.
Responsibility details are not available.
Leather appears on models far more often than one would expect. Belts, straps, pistol holsters, boots, ammo pouches, horse harnesses, book bindings and a saddle bag — all of that calls for a tone that keeps pace between the brown of wood and the brown of earth. It is precisely into that gap that this shade aims.
The character of the tone: it is a medium brown with a warm, slightly reddish foundation, of the kind that vegetable-tanned leather gives. It is not chocolate and it is not an ocher sand either, so on one model it will happily stand next to both.
Real leather never has a uniform surface. Folds wear to a sheen, edges lighten, seams and creases darken with soaked-in grease. It is exactly this unevenness that pays to imitate: apply the base, run a dark glaze into the crevices and bring back out only the raised places.
A trio of steps that works: a brown base in two thinner coats, then highlighting the edges by adding a little sand or beige to the same paint, and finally a sharp point of light where a strap would really rub against the gear. Leave the buckle strap and the metal eyelets until last, or you will foul them while shading.
It also suits: the wood of an older gunstock, cases and travel luggage, leather seats in a car interior, the worn handle of a tool or the brown fur on a figure of an animal. In such a role it also holds up as a middle tone to which a lighter and a darker shade are tuned.
