Re: Suggestions please with going blonde! As far as I can remember I used Vallejo Tan Yellow 70912 applied by brush, satin clear coat, then a very thin coat of Games Worshop Flesh Wash.
If you don't have those colours, I'd try any Panzer yellow type colour and then give it a thin satin clear coat, followed by a thin wash of raw umber in white spirit. Should do the trick!
