Painting Italians

I have been off work this last week and decided to use my holiday to paint my flames of war. I started by priming them with white gesso. I used two thin coats as it is the first time I have used this and was a little cautious. I then used Vallejo paints and a GW spray gun connected to my Revell compressor to basecoat them, first with the recommended colour in the North Africa book, then an overspray of the same, mixed about 2:1 with Buff.

After this I then block painted them, primarily with Vallejo, but a few GW here and there. They are now ready for army painter. I am going to use the lightest tone as, again, this is a new product for me and I do not want to over power and darken the primarily very light tones used.
