GWR Stone Nos 1 and 3 in acrylic

[Jeff Smith]

I live in the US and wondered if anyone had good acrylic matches for GWR Stone 1 and 3 from any of the internationally available acrylic ranges, ie, Vallejo, Testors, Games Workshop, Tamiya, Badger Modelflex, Humbrol, etc.?

I think there is a website called station colours, which has a list of colours and equivalent for different manufacturers.

Thanks, I appreciate this reference but assuming I got the one you meant from gwr.org.uk it only lists Precision solvent based paint.  I have one each of these but are awful to use as I generally only use acrylics.

Try this link, also read the other pages on the website it gives acrylic matches for other companies colours which might be useful for the shades you require.

Thanks, Tamiya colours are certainly available over here.

Glad to be of help.

I am matching to a couple of old Precision versions, B109 Stone No 1 and B110 Stone No 3.

So, have found a couple of colours from the Citadel (War Hammer) range for Stone No3.  Ratskin Flesh which is pretty close, and Cadian Fleshtone for a lighter weathered look.  Stone No 1 still eludes me.  Unfortunately colours on line from the manufacturers are dependent on monitor settings, as are the examples in GWR.org.....

Have now found a satisfactory Stone No 1 - Vallejo Model Color Dark Flesh, Sunny Skin Tone could serve as a lighter (yellower) weathered version.
