: Does anybody know how to make or buy the "White Star Buff" color? I tried the mixture in the directions but it doesn't look right.
Here's something you may want to try.Get Testors or an acrylic type FLAT, light tan color. (The "peach" is a little too dark). Add to the light tan an ever so small amount of YELLOW and gradually work it up to the most acceptable tone to your own eye. I'm sure James Cameron did his homework on "White Star-Buff" just as he had for every other technical aspect of his movie and a close look at what HIS interpretation is can't be too far off the mark. Also, keep some flat White on hand in case you need to lighten up your mixture. Good Luck
