Not finished painting yet, but going to put a little taste of in progress stuff on here. I'm always struggling with color combinations and getting better at painting as a whole. Sometimes seems like one step forward and two back. I use primarily Vallejo Model Color which gives a nice color pallet in it's line. Deciding on colors for uniforms though is a pain. I've scanned numerous blogs and articles regarding colors. From a historical standpoint, it appears most agree that Russian uniforms could vary quite a bit, and dye lots were not heavily controlled. Several uniforms in a group could be shades off from each other. For painting it's easiest to just try to keep them all somewhat uniform, and hope that as you mix your paint you'll get the subtle change in shades. I'll get there. Soon I'll post a bit on my colors choices.
