I tried painting a zulu warrior with a green undercoat once after a similar discussion and although I enjoyed the process it wasn't long before I resorted to the more familiar - certainly food for thought.

Could you see an advantage in not using black or white to undercoat these relatively more vividly coloured subjects?<br /><br />Cheers<br />Paulsnowcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14602172615016022234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397250603826942614.post-19546298472388697852014-08-09T16:20:57.319-07:002014-08-09T16:20:57.319-07:00Very interesting and nice results.

This approach makes sense but I'd be wary to use it on historical miniatures unless confident the resulting fading would look correct. So I think it would work on Napoleonics, but would it work on black uniforms/kit worn by say modern forces/police. I guess it would mean I higher proportion of dark blue to the brown to represent modern dyes? MarkGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931863014281720994noreply@blogger.com
