I bought Tamiya’s LRDG truck with 7 figures. What paints to use to create a skin colour as if these guys have been in the sun for quite a while?
Second, who sells deser coulored sand? Or what to use as an alternative?
For the flesh tones, I’d suggest that you look in the Vallejo color lines. They have multiple flesh tones to choose from. Pick the ones that you feel would work for that group.
As far as sand colors go, sand can range from gray, to white, to yellow, to pink or red, to black, depending upon locale. Figure out the area you want to represent, and work from there.
Tan tile grout makes a fine start for a sand base.
Reaper brand acrylic paints makes a triad set of bronzed skin; base, highlight, and shadow. Reaper is popular among fantasy figure painters. Ignore the ghoulish paint color names on the bottle. It’s whats inside that matters. They also make some fine dirt colors
AK makes a skin tone set that you can mix colors for different tones and shadings,most manufactures,Vallejo was mentioned,Mig Ammo make sets,try to grab one of them,will last forever and are very useful for figures.

Thank you all [:)]
Most full service pet shops that have fish, will probably carry aquarium sand.
It comes in quite a few colors and varies from course to fine.
And it’s cheap !
