I use Testors paint. For my Sid custom, the skintone came out almost the same as Jakks, and is very identical. Here's what I used: Skin Tone Tint Base-Lt Skin Tone Warm Tint Yellow Flat White All one part except white; I used two parts. www.testors.com/catalog_browse.asp?ictNbr=47All can be found in that link. I'm sure that in whatever brand of paint you use, there is a similar 'recipe' for a skin tone. |

I use folk art skintone colour. an there is also a colour called linen and I mix it with white it's good for a normal skintone.

Yeah you really have to play around with mixing. I hated doing skintone for the longest time, but I feel better about it recently.
Yellow, Orange, Brown, White, maybe a little tiny bit of pink, and mix.. My suggestion is to make sure you make a lot (mix it in a little cup) because its pretty much impossible to mix up the exact skintone twice, and also test it on a spare part and let it dry before you do your whole figure, because the color seems to get darker when it dries sometimes.

Yeah, I learned things the hard way like once or twice. It was pretty much impossible to get teh exact same shade as before. |

Deco Art Medium Flesh is pretty close to skintone, if you lighten it up just a bit, it should be pretty exact.

For my last custom I mixed about 60/40 Tamiya flesh tone and flat white with a few drops of brown in there. You just have to play around with it. I recommend mixing it in an empty paint bottle and make a lot of it so that you can use exactly the same color again if you need to.
Since you're in the UK I recommend going to a Games Workshop and getting a bottle of the Citadel paint "Elf Flesh". I've never found a better pre-mixed skin tone. It's awesome.

Yeah, man, I seriously recommend getting the pains from Games Workshop, they are just fantastic. I really can't recommend them enough.
