I would like to know what Vallejo colour(s) you may have used to paint the jackets of these cavalry units. The illustrations I have seen look more yellow than the described buff. Many thanks. |

I would try VM Yellow Ochre with some VMC Pale Sand mixed in as a highlight. It looks very similar to the color used in the Hourtoulle books, anyway. |

Thanks A, I've gone for the Yellow Ochre. Surprising how little response one gets for questions about Nap Saxons… |

Not everyone use Vallejo paints, either. |

Hi I used English Uniform as a basecoat and Beige as a top coat. Example below just follow the line and click on the Saxon album. link Regards Gav |

Thanks Gav, excellent work and thanks for sharing! What figures/scale are they? |

Hi Thanks for the feedback. All the figures in the photos are 15mm Old Glory. I am still working on the photography side to give better images. Regards Gav |
