And, what paints do you guys use to achieve your favorite red?

Thanks for the Blog-Link! Today i tried my "reds" i have at home on two testminis.



I made a Blog-Entry on my blog, there are two How-to-paint Redcoats, both use various Reds.

hi guys,

for a new project i am researching the correct Red for the british Redcoats for the WSS.

I finished two more vikings for my SAGA-Army. Both miniatures are from Foundry Miniatures and are great sculptures.



A further pic of the both you find on my blog.

Now the Marquis is painted. It was a quite pleasure to paint this figure.



more pics of the figure inclusive a comparison pics with a front rank wss officer you can find here.

Raif, for 28mm Austrian/Empire troops the Warfare figures will be very appropriate. Their are German Armoured cavalry suitable for 1680-1714 in helmet, tricorne, hat or bareheaded including 3 command packs. The infantry with apostles or with cartridge bag are perfect.
