Recently completed some French infantry in blue overcoats. I used Vallejo Deep Prussian Blue. However, this seems a dad too dark on a 28mm model. I would like to repaint using the DPB as the shadow. Any ideas on what Vallejo to use as base and highlight?????????????? Thanks guys. |

PRUSSIAN BLUE on French? Perish the thought.
It was more of a "Hoeizon Blue" or a grayish blue. |

Sorry guys should have said this was for early war Frenchies. I realise later war was more of a horizon blue
Got some Prussian Blue at Claymore to-day so will mix some deep Prussian blue with Prussian Blue, wash with DPB and highlight with Prussian blue. Fingers crossed.
