Please tell me this pun was intentional?
If it wasn't then you probably shouldn't be on this forum :D

This week I have mostly been painting the 2nd Battalion of the Legion Britannique. The coat colour is described as 'medium blue', but period depictions show it as quite dark, so I've gone for a French blue shade:

Very nice, mate. All they're missing are the large bags of "found" stuff they'd be carrying.

So good South Welsh lads, then?

What colour blues are described in books and what colours were on the clothes that were given to the troops can vary. The below coat (from the FdG museum in Kulmbach site) was made according to the original factory orders. While it could be a misinterpretation of the orders by the mob that made it, it does make my Prussian dragoons look a little pale.

I think is something to do with it being an HTTP link and coming from the forum which is HTTPS. Some browsers are funny about this.

I'm going to do some digging but just back from hols and knackered...
