However I got out a box that had all sorts in it that I picked up in the early eighties. All I can say is I knew what they were when I packed the box 25 years ago.<br /><br />Johnjohnpreecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548014163096067684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385210602449395922.post-68568455074629830032009-05-03T20:49:00.000-07:002009-05-03T20:49:00.000-07:00Hi John,

Though they are widely available through most art shops etc. I like the Sepia and burnt umber for painting horses over a white undercoat.<br /><br />They are not really opaque so the black over white may be a little too stark or on the other hand it may work brilliantly. Please let us know if you try it.<br /><br />I have nothing against black undercoat, I am just about to do 160 French light infantry in black because it wil save me time in shakos and muskets. It is just for most of my painting I find white quicker and easier.johnpreecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548014163096067684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385210602449395922.post-87044209940207567382009-05-03T08:01:00.000-07:002009-05-03T08:01:00.000-07:00I'm being dim I'm sure, but "FW"??

It self shades and makes a lovely subdued red that I am very tempted to use for British Infantry. I really would recommend it as an excellent quick effect.<br /><br />Pandy: of course when I say Six I only mean the main ones. Napoleonics 1809; Napoleonics big battalions; 18C Charge imagnation; 18C French and English; English Civil Wars; WW2 fall of France and Sealion.<br /><br />Otherwise there is Medieval, Ancient, AWI, ACW, Colonial, WW1, SCW.....johnpreecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548014163096067684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385210602449395922.post-8998795668660434002009-05-02T13:37:00.000-07:002009-05-02T13:37:00.000-07:00Looking good!Looking good!Peelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14521359600373293438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385210602449395922.post-3184928528940436342009-05-02T10:20:00.000-07:002009-05-02T10:20:00.000-07:00Hi John,
