'God save the Queen’ we living sing,From height to height ’tis heard;And with the rest your voices ring, Lads of the Fifty-third.Ah, my local mob. Well, kinda. Just over the county border five miles away. I thought some Housman was in order.And you will list the bugleThat blows in lands of morn,And make the foes of England Be sorry you were born.I'm sure they will, once on the tabletop. Champion stuff!
B*gger me but yellow is a sod of a colour to paint!
Top drawer as per Andy I start with an ochre as a base to avoid getting the yellow too bright or washed out with too much white. If I do add white to any of the highlights I tend to use VMC Ivory as it is much less stark then a regular white
Yeah I should've gone for ochre...went for Foundry bright yellow. Big mistake!! Pigment is very poor, so coverage is dreadful over anything other than white, so the base coat went on fine, but highlighting over the strong tone is dreadful. Still, they'll have to do. I can't change them now! At least there's only 3 units of Raja's own household troops - the other two units can have other colours!! Then it's loads of sepoys in lovely off-white... (plus two companies in red - They are the ex-EIC garrison of Rhanipur and the Raja insists on them keeping their uniform and drill...)
