I've used it on some of my minis. I've also used other light colors that contain some white, such as buff or cream, as a basis for red on a black undercoat. These colors cover pretty well and have a bit of warmth to liven up the red.Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-206508285207986962.post-36575994887375773092010-02-10T11:13:33.471-08:002010-02-10T11:13:33.471-08:00Yeah they had a winter uniform but that was later ...Yeah they had a winter uniform but that was later in the second Mahdist war, I believe and the officers wore blue uniforms, and the Sudan colonial troops wore blue leggings.Prinz Geoffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409013870510548637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-206508285207986962.post-71069569414771358262010-02-10T11:08:08.543-08:002010-02-10T11:08:08.543-08:00Good to see you posting again.

Red does not do well over black or grey priming . . . unless you use white over the darker color and then paint the red over the white.<br /><br />If I recall correctly, I think that the Egyptians might have had a blue tunic for one of their uniforms . . . although I might be mistaken about that. Some research might help. Also the I think that the red was a bit of a darker red and not a "bright" red.<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.com
