About product

German uniforms Light Brown - the light brown of kit

This water-based acrylic paint belongs among the supporting tones of the uniform group. They are easily underrated, and yet it is exactly they that decide whether a figure looks like a person with kit or like a uniform casting. On one figure a brown appears several times over, and each time on a different material.

Where a light brown sits on a figure

Canvas straps, a bread bag, belts, pouches and other small kit tend to have a noticeably lighter tone than the blouse and than the dark leather of the belt. A light brown is at the same time the ideal position for the places that are rubbed; the edges of straps, the bends of belts and the places where kit presses against the uniform are brightened by wear.

Use

  • canvas straps, bread bags and leather equipment
  • light leather pouches and parts of kit
  • worn edges on darker brown surfaces
  • the light position when shading and drawing out the volume of dark browns

How to work with it on small areas

Small kit is painted differently from a large area of uniform. Small parts need higher contrast than a blouse, because otherwise they disappear in the whole; on a strap half a millimeter wide the eye simply does not catch a difference in tone. Do not be afraid, then, to draw the edges out more strongly than the scale would warrant. At the same time thin coats keep the engraved detail legible, whereas a heavy coat clogs it.

Who the paint is for

For modelers of figures and busts who want the kit recognizable from the uniform, and for anyone painting small accessories for a diorama.

Stir the paint, work in a well-ventilated room and keep it out of the reach of children.

FAQ

On one figure a brown appears on several different materials. Canvas and light leather are noticeably lighter than a belt or boots. Without the second position the figure merges into one surface.

Yes, that is one of its main uses. The lighter tone draws out the edges of straps and the places worn by rubbing, and gives dark areas volume.

On a surface a fraction of a millimeter wide the eye does not catch a fine difference in tone. For the detail to be legible within the whole figure, the contrast has to be more pronounced than reality would warrant.
