The Krylon Khaki Tan base coat is a recommended color, but if you can't get that in Germany, just something close. Obviously with a CGI character we will never know what the actual color used in the film was. We just ask you come close. @Jakeputt any suggestions?

Jakeputt Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Hey there Sascha, it's great to see another prospective Kashyyyk Trooper coming through. The color your looking for is really just a matte Kahki. Then once that's on you spray the olive green and then the earth brown selectively. Each trooper has applied the camo in their own way. It's best to apply the colors individually all over your kit. IE start with the Kahki all over then place the green down and then the brown. I have found that you want to be careful not to go too much on either the green or the brown but be selective with each. Make small camo marks, medium then large. Leave enough room so that your kahki still shows through. Be very sparing with the brown. I've found that using sponge brush worked best for me. If you do decide to use the sponge, spray the color onto the sponge and then dab it onto the armor. My process I went through personally is I started by priming all the pieces with primer. Then I made everything silver. Then I masked different areas I wanted to look like metallic scrapes on the armor and then I sprayed black for edging on the metallic scrapes. I masked the black edging then I went with the kahki. Good luck and if you need anymore help I'm always here for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeputt Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 RAL 1001 looks closer to what you're going for. You can always do washes to darken it. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
