[Song of Drums and Shakos]¶
Black Brunswickers¶

The line infantry is done. When looking at the models, I am not sure I will stick with the colors I used for the bases. Now looking at the finished models, it seems a bit dark and reddish-brown... Let's see...

Next up is the light infantry.

Black Brunswickers¶

I decided to change the base color. I replaced the Liquitex Burned Sienna for Schminke College Medium Brown (2 parts) mixed with Liquitex Raw Sienna (1 part) as the base coat; main and highlight color remain the same.

Here is the light infantry with the new base color (and skin, hair and weapons painted).

Here is a comparison of the old and the new bases. I like the new scheme better, it looks more subdued, the burned sienna is much more vibrant. Also, the overall contrast is less.

Now I need to repaint the line infantry's bases.
