I wen't ahead and primed everything last weekend. First thing I started on was the figures.
I tried the same approach but added a bit more white to them during
the pre-shading steps. Used the Vallejo Khaki for the shirts and hats.
Along with Vallejo's Burnt Red, which is supposed to be the equivalent
to the Tamiya Red Brown. The extra white during pre-shading seems to
have helped a bit, as they're not dark like my other figures.
I
used Vallejo's Mahogany Brown as a wash on the clothing.
Might also go back over the
skin with another layer of Vallejo's Light Flesh to add a bit more
depth. Need to finish the hair and few other small things. Also looking
for my wire to try to add headphone cables.

The Mahogany Brown wash also helps mimic dirt on the pants.
I had painted the interior a bone white. I am not going to do a lot of detailing in there, but enough to where you can catch a glimpse.
I then started painting all the tools. I really like Tamiya's Metallica Grey. It looks more like a realistic used tool would. Laid down a layer of chipping fluid and then the base color. After the base dried, I added the tools to the hull.
