And, they take equally well a simple coat of paint as they do with a more elaborate scheme. I enjoyed painting the cuirassiers as much as the jagers, albeit the former took ages to finish compared to the latter. In my opinion, they both look great on the table.<br /><br />The buff coat is based on the Foundry 'Buff Coat' triad. Then, a wash made by GW Sepia Wash (that gives it the tint you so much like) followed by Vallejo Clear Sand (quite dilute) to correct the wash and give it an extra 'warm' highlight...<br /><br />You could also use the Foundry Bone (my favorite for Prussian small clothes) or Canvas triads, or any other home-made mix to that effect. The 'secret' is in the GW wash and the way to apply it; you have to guide it to the recesses and not let it pool everywhere, while at the same time you ensure everything is 'glazed'...Easier done than described!<br /><br />Hope Lady Emma is doing better today...Ioannis Mavromichalishttp://www.leuthenjournal.comnoreply@blogger.com
