But for now:<br /><br />- the base is a 50/50 mix of Vallejo Model Colour Black/ Vallejo Game Colour Gunmetal; <br />- a mid-tone of Vallejo Game Colour Gunmetal with a dab of Vallejo Model Colour Black; and <br />- a highlight of Vallejo Model Colour Oily Steel. <br /><br />This seems to work a bit more dramatically than what I was using before.Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-38464989578389229642014-09-01T14:18:55.885+01:002014-09-01T14:18:55.885+01:00Very high praise from you, Michael!

I'm not sure exactly whether that's very realistic (and quite possibly it isn't), but it will hopefully look good, and be huge fun to play with.

I freely confess (and feel slightly guilty about it) that these figures are a long way from the horror and terrible casualties of the Zouaves in the Great War. But they are one of the quintessential French units, and they were as irresistible on the painting table and they might (or might not) be on the wargames table!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-88050190063333084472014-09-01T14:10:53.575+01:002014-09-01T14:10:53.575+01:00Thanks Ian!
