    Thanks fella's. There's no secret mix for the tunic it's simply very dilute Andrea Basic Red applied in several thin layers.

    Hi Roger,
    Great start mate, I'll be watching this one with my Victorian pose. I might even bestow on you the most gracious and highest honour of official UNPAID box artist for 1879 Miniatures.;) Now I can't be fairer than that.:angelic:
    cheers

    Update time. The tunic and trousers are still wet and under bright light so still shiny.

    Great work on that tunic Roger!.
    The red looks amazing, i can tell you are a redcoat at heart lol!.
    I did use the vallejo red before and it is a nice medium red color to use as a base.
    Keep up the good work.
    Regards
