I just wanted to show the next project.. the Scotsman. And I also wanted to show the complete PAIN it is to animate the kilt.
Spoiler :
Difficult, but undoubtedly splendid, work

Okay here's the Denmark WIP. How do the colors look? If I only make 1, which would be better suited?
TopGun
258 kills
for the guy on the left, I suggest to lighten up the blue color of his cap, to match your reference picture. As far as I know, that was a typical uniform for Denmark.
Only one? Hmmm... my 7 yr old son would say, "All of them!"
I'd say, the guy in the middle for "early WWI".

Yes, I realized that after I had already made the pic. D'Oh!
Wow, they're looking really good, Wyrmshadow.
A note on the colors (I know the hat was not intended to be dark), the Kepi field cap was actually dark blue (almost black, like the uniform jacket, reminds me of US Union infantry) from 1848 until 1889 when they switched to light blue (figure on the left). The Jæger Corps light infantry had the same type of uniform, but it was entirely dark green, hat, jacket, the whole lot, from 1848 to 1923.
Anyway, since you're making a WW1 theme, I'd recomend the light grey uniform (1915-1923) figure on the right, even if the black/blue looks awesome.
Either that or the early war/late war type figures. I think they changed the uniform based on, among others, the French experiences in the first war year: colorful uniforms are pretty, but make easy targets.

US BAR assault infantry
US HMG
Russian Maxim
French Early
French Late
?French Chauchat?
French HMG
Italian Early Inf.
Italian Alpini
Italian Late Inf.
Italian HMG
Italian Assault troop
?Generic Cavalry?

If you make an Alpini, you could make a French Chasseur Alpin 
Other possibility:
- North Africa infantry
- Egypt infantry
- Japan infantry
- Arab infantry (Lawrence of Arabia?)
- Indian infantry (you have ANZAC, South African, but no Indian)
You would have everything covered then.

I'm doing a Japanese Infantry and Early Ottoman Infantry at the moment. I'm making the Ottoman purple, according to the book you gave me. If that's wrong.. then I'm blaming you.
I'm leaving the french to be last because I don't know how/if I'm going to make the Great Coat. Also there needs to be a Belgian early and latewar. Forgot about that.
IF someone can make me a proper turban prop then I can easily make an indian trooper. Although I'd probably make him in african theater colors.

Except the officer on the top left, I'd still call the other colours blue, not purple.
Of course, it's not pure blue, but to me it's still a blue. In fact, it's indigo.
If you look at this page to "indigo dye", you'll see it's not a pure blue, and close to the colour in the screenshot.
Indigo was commonly used to dye uniform, and it gives this kind of blue.
That was similar to the French napoleonic wars uniforms, also dyed with indigo.
Anyway, if you make them as in the latest screenshot, they'd be OK.

Here's is what I do when I take a color sample from such an image:
I try to take a large sample/copy of a patch of uniform. I then blur the ENTIRE image (Gaussian Blur at max) and Photoshop mixes all the colors together. The result is what I use. and to me it still looks dark purple.
The correct color for indigo dye is
Hex triplet #00416A
RGBB (r, g, b) (0, 65, 106)
HSV (h, s, v) (203°, 100%, 42%)
Do not mix "indigo dye" with "indigo pigment" (that's what Badharma gave), that would be to purple

too late to argue. Unit's already posted and I'm going to sleep.
