Flesh Colours
Ammo by Mig Jimenez
The art of figure painting is something that some people really don’t like to try, mainly because of the flesh tones. Well with this new set from Mig Jimenez you at least have a good starting point, with the various tones and colours, which you can use to build up the look on your figures. There are highlights and lowlights in addition to the actual skin tones included in the set.
A.MIG-115 Light Skin Tone
A.MIG-116 Basic Skin Tone
A.MIG-117 Warm Skin Tone
A.MIG-118 Burnt Sand
A.MIG-133 Red Leather
A.MIG-134 Burnt Brown Red
The paints can be both brushed or airbrushed which will please a lot of modellers, yet the new formulation has been designed primarily for brush use. Once the bottles have been shaken very well colour density looks pretty good, and whilst I haven’t used these particular colours yet I have used others in the AMMO range and they do spray well with a little bit of thinning. I wouldn’t say they were ready to spray straight from the bottle though.
Conclusion
This looks to be a very useful and well thought out set of colours from AMMO and will prove a very useful to those modellers with an interest in figure painting.
