I've added highlights to face and hands with Games Workshop Elf Flesh and repainted the cross-belts and rucksack straps with pure white. I think this looks OK. I shall probably do another dozen or so and see what they look like en masse.
The Ottoman light horse are halfway through the basing process. They had their bases glooped with tile group and then painted in patches of two shades of brown. They've then had dry-brushings with GW Graveyard Earth and Vallejo Camouflage Orange Ochre. Next will come Khaki, Iraqi Sand and then finally a mix of Iraqi Sand and White.
Finally, also underway is what will be my sixth base of Janissaries. More Irregular Miniatures, they're at the gloop-on-the-base-paint-colours-you-can-pick-out-the-detail-later stage.

That looks better! Quite a light blue, you have there, Although might be the light. Will look good en-masse!
Simon (who has about a thousadn of those to paint).
The guy on the beer bottle cap is in Rowney Cobalt Blue. The chap on the pink wine bottle cap is in the awful Tamiya dark blue with a little cobalt blue highlighting.
I suspect the real thing would have been in a number of shades having varied from batch to batch and with how long it had been exposed to sun and rain.
Yes I think any number of shades are possible. I'm inclined to go fairly dark, though, have mixed a little black into Prussian blue to make it darker...
