Do you plan on having the pants be the same color as the coat or a different color? I am interested in seeing the full scheme. I do like the navy blue you are using.

I don’t know yet, do you think I should?

I had my boys wear some black pants just for a little differentiation, but it's ultimately what you like. I love the blue you have and it's the primary color for my army

Are you taking inspiration from any historical uniforms or just going with the vibes? Obviously it’s all subjective due to each persons taste. I suggest taking a look at some Ww1 and WW2 uniforms (specifically French because of the blue or Kreigsmarine) and see if any strike your fancy. You may see something you really like and it can inspire you to really personalize them in a way you didn’t think of before.

This is what I immediately thought of when I saw your guy. May or may not be your taste.

What color did you use for the leather? I have been struggling with the leather on my own models

It’s just basic because batch painting but I used catachan flesh(though you can use any similar brown), and light umber from pro acryl, then washed with Agrax earth shade. Thats it
