Just brilliant, did you go with a yellow base for the shields to get them colour? If so works well.

Hi Keith,

Just a white undercoat. 2-3 layers with time allowed to dry per coat and a grey undercoat.  Allows the colours to come out.  If i want to darken the colour of the shield i apply a layer of wash usually GW agrax earth shade.

I have also found that the decals made for Victrix shields work on your republican shields with just a little paint work.

Cheers
JP
