Royal Navy Paint Schemes

[Wicked Willie]

Hello all,

One of my gaming mates has got me (and a few others in our group!) hooked on VaS.

As such, I've spent most of my bonus on some of the wonderful ships of the Royal Navy from GHQ.

I was wondering what colours people use when painting. I would prefer to use Tamiya paints for basecoating starting with black, but what grey(s)?

I would then want to use Vallejo paints for picking out the detail. Any tips on choices for decks, camo strips etc? Are there any useful painting guides/sites around?

(Luckily GHQ have some good pics of a number of their ships painted which I can also use as a reference).

Finally, are there any good links (with hopefully colour pic's or plates) or Royal Navy camo patterns?

Sorry if this information has been posted before. I did do a quick search on the forums, but nothing really jumped out at me. Probably because I'm supposed to be working and not browsing forums!

Thanks in advance for all the help

Cheers,
Will

What you need is this book. I highly recommend & own it.

http://www.clashofarms.com/cas-paint.html

USD $20 is cheap for all the information contained within.

A more expensive route for RN only is this series Warships in Perspective.

http://steelnavy.com/wr_rn_camo_1.htm

Four volumes at USD $22.00each from Amazon.com for only the RN. I'm a sucker though and bought them too. They are really good.

Hope one of these works for you.

Regards,

Burke

As Burke Said the Clash book is all you need.
