Painting playmo skin, what color?

[tonguello]

Thank you Daniela! I can get the Humbrol paint here!! So I'll try with that one and some white! That could work!
I'll post when I get them ready....but that could be in 2 weeks 
Cheers!

I used for my Chippendales skin a mixture of Humbrol Enamel No 82 Matt (kind of orange terracotta) and Revell Email white No 04.

Just to give you another possibility. 

Tonguello, me too can't wait to see your new customs! Love your ladies!

Great to hear another option, Daniela! Can you tell us the ratio recipe ?

Sorry Bill, I can´t.

I use to give a little bit of both colors side by side on a piece of painting paper and mix it until the color is matching the playmo skin.

I think, it could be 2 parts white and 1 part orange, but I don´t know. It´s a little bit of try and error for me.

I understand. Thanks anyway !

Hi guys!
I bought the paint Daniela suggested. Thanx Daniela! I haven't tried it yet but I noticed that it is almost exactly the color of egipcian clickies skin! A tinny bit redder, but works perfectly. I added a pic. I hope it can be seen.
It is Humbrol Enamel 82 Matt. To match the clickly skin you would have to spray a satin barnish later otherwise it would have the same color but a different "shineness" (is that a word?  )
Hope this helps.
I'll try caucasian skin later this week.
Cheers!!

Gaston, you made my day!

I was so happy to find a painting for the pale skin, I overlooked it´s perfect for  the darker skin, too.

I am such a fool, I never realized! 

Thanks, Gaston!
