Question sergeants stripes indian mutiny
« 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  :).

I'm going with red, even if not correct. As Sepoy said whats the point of white on white.

One of the Ospreys shows a British (infantry) Sgt Major with gold chevrons on a red backing on his white tunic.
