A little redness on my Prussian behinds.

Post by Purple »

As I steadily trot on through my rebasing, later inspection of my previously painted figures makes me realise that Reds aren’t my strongest point and needs improvement.
I may have posted this before but then ignored you all.
Can you tell me your triads, methods and paint numbers so I can wildly experiment on my next batch of sweaty Austrian cuff types.

I enjoy your reds and have remarked so in the past.

How to I obtain the GW paint without bankloan and/or necessary incantation to the relevant goblin death god?

My reds are always rubbish, so I won't bother you with them.

Don't Wayland Games sell them, thereby saving people from having to enter a GW shop in broad daylight?

What? And deny Purps the satisfaction of slipping inside a selection of Boyes until things turn red? Where’s the fun in that?

Be fair, he doesn't want everything to turn red, just the bit at the end.

When I'm not using Foundry out of sheer laziness, and really only the perfect red will do, I rely on the Andrea Red paint set to get the results I'm after.

The hardest red to get right is the one that Vauxhall have used for generations. It starts off gloss red but if exposed to sunshine for 3 consecutive days it turns matt pink.
