A recent post got me thinking about how others paint white uniforms.
So what colour do you paint your Austrians:
1) Brilliant white – they should be able to see in the dark due to the luminescence of their uniforms
2) White – they look like they are about to star in a washing powder commercial
3) Off white – 18th century technology meant mass produced whites were not as white as in the 21st century.
4) Off white or white with light washes – to suggest shadows or a hint of dirt
5) Off white with darker washes – to give the lived in look
6) Off white (with patches or individuals in non-matching trousers etc?) with a mix of washes – real campaign look such that you can even tell which units have been suffering from dysentery
7) I don't do Austrians
8) I don't do any troops who wore white as it is to hard to get it to look right
9) Other
