Title: Question sergeants stripes indian mutiny
Post by: THE CID on December 12, 2015, 03:41:03 PM: I'm painting Maudes artillery and was wondering what colour artillery sergeants stripes would be. Forgot to mention its Iron Dukes figures, on their site the stripes look plain white.
Surely on a white uniform they would have some contrasting colour, maybe not. Any ideas.

In a nutshell, if Col. Mike Snook has painted them white then that is as good as you're going to get in the research department.

White it will be :).
