I know you were asking for color schemes. My point is that a more general suggestion or guideline would probably be best for you. People can suggest color combinations until they are blue in the face but they will never be you - what I mean by that is - you need to find a color combination and theme to go by that you will feel comfortable painting - otherwise you will end up painting a couple figures get tired of it and quit.

What colors do you like? If you had to pick one color to use what would it be?

Some colors that can tend to be hard to paint are: Red, white, Yellow, and even black.

If you are thinking about an artic theme soft blues and greys would probably be appropriate. Again how much time would you want to spend mixing colors. Vallejo model colors come in a whole plethora of shades - that might be a route to go away from the standard base colors.

I would pick one main color reds, greens, blues, etc.(the bulk of the figure should be this color) and then a secondary accent color in a neutral tone (greys, tans, browns, etc.) as they tend to look best together. You can add details in silver, gold, a leather color, etc.

Hope this helps more...

cheers,
