Nice dense list Jesse, what would you consider the best combo to get a good natural tanned look. Would Garage kit flesh mixed with a little leather or cocoa do the trick?

GK Flesh base with Transparent Natural and Bright Flesh for shading ... if you want darker, you can always mist over with a bit of Bronze Flesh.


And this is just the beginning, I don't have the Metallics, Pearls and all the Transparents yet ... also I'm making a Base Flesh colored Primer as well.

You can see a the whole list of what's will be available on our website: www.garagekits.us/colors

I'm trying to work on taking pictures of the bottles, and creating paint chips myself as the paints come in, since the freaking printer that Life Tones uses are COMPLETELY inept!

But, doing this for 116 different colors, and an addition 20+ new ones, on top receiving, sorting, counting, inventorying and else that I'm doing (by myself mind you) isn't easy.

Even when it's done, the problem then becomes, each persons individual monitor settings ... no matter how correct the colors are on the paint chips, individual settings on monitors is going to effect the color you see, so it's only going to be a rough estimation either way.

On the good side, if you've used either Life Tone paints in the past, the colors are the same.

I've started adding pictures of the bottles with will serve as temporary color swatches until actual ones can be made. I've gotten most of the opaques done, but it's a VERY slow and tedious process.
