Re: [GZG] Japanese colors?

["Binhan Lin" <binhan.lin@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you are interested in a more samurai look, perhaps for the hard armor parts, the classic colors for samurai armor are glossy black or a reddish brown.  Details can be of just about any color, but the belts should be white. Repeating prints, particulaly of flowers or other japanese heraldic objects are common - in 15mm scale these would probably just show up as dots or faint patches of color.  I could also envision a 3-D holographic banner or staff or even holographic sashimono on each soldier.

I'm starting to think about my next project and am thinking about Japan for SG in 15. I've collected a number of infantry packs over the years and have just bought a number of legged vehicles during the GZG christmas special that seem to suit a Japanese theme.

It occurred to me while pawing over my new goodies that I've never seen much in the way of ground pounders for Japan, only the 25mm photos on the GZG website. They appear to be done in gray, silver, and a bit of red on the helmet.

Anyone else done up any Japanese?

Thoughts on color schemes for infantry and vehicles?

My first thought would be a light blue-gray for uniforms with a gray urban camo on the vehicles, but Id really appreciate some alternative schemes, especially if they've already been something you've tried.

Thanks!
