Damned tempting! As someone once said, it's about the only historical period I don't own! ;)

#1 son wants to be Prussians, so it looks like I'll get him a copy for Christmas, and possibly myself (only £12 - that's less than 4 pints).  So at some point I think leon will be getting an order.  I will be doing Austrians because I hate painting dark blue, and Austrians are undercoat colour!

Good point Sandy. Normally I undercoat 10mm in black these days, but I undercoated my Austrians white, then used inks and highlights.

I undercoat grey- I can't see the detail on black and white is too bright.

I think I'll do grey, then a light spray of white and a sepia wash.
