Painting up some of the Perry 1880's Egyptian infantry. Lots of experimentation on shading white. I seem to be drifting towards using a light camel color for the jacket and trowsers, but a grey for the leggings. This probably isn't accurate. Every color drawing seems to have the leggings in exactly the same color as the trousers. However, they just seem to look better this way.
Anyway, on to the questions.
1.) What color is the bugle cord for Egyptian infantry?
2.) What about unit standards? The discussion over at The Bengal Club seems to have settled on the opinion that the Egyptian flags over on the Warflag web site (green with exotic numbers in the center) are battalion colors, but the cool and groovy flags held by the figures over on the Perry site (red with a white moon) are National colors.
Any info out there?
