So one of my friends asked me to paint some pieces for a game his father gave him. It's a very old game. Anyway, there are four detectives. Two I see as Sherlock Holmes looking (suits with a vest) and two that have suit coats buttoned all the way up to their chin. So he wanted them painted so that the pieces are easily distinguishable from each other. So I was thinking for ones of the suit/vest guys some sort of tan suit. As I have mostly painted either 40k/space hulk/assassinorum models or Star Wars imperial assaukt models, I'm trying to come up with a good paint scheme for real life looking pieces using mostly citadel paints since I have those sitting around. I was thinking a grey suit, a tan or brown suit, a navy or blue suit and a black suit. Anyone have some color suggestions. I posted a picture of the one I primed so far

You might want to do a white suit as well, or if you want to get aggressive with painting, do some pin striped suits.

I thought about pinstripes. I don't know if I'm quite that steady

Here's the blue suit

Here they are almost complete
