I purchasedthe Tiger Terrain piece (along with their other pieces in the range – ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!) and am deciding how to paint it in period. Most pictures I see have a white wash face on the majority. But that is over a stucco finish. Underneath one would catch glimpses of the red brick. The TT piece is without the stucco covering and is complete with the brick. If one wanted, how to best paint to represent the actual building during the battle? Red brick? White-wash brick? Thought? Madcam. PS – I'll assume blue tile roof either way, yes? |

many an on line illustration reproduced from very shortly after the big day, but the best reference on this (as on so many things) is; PDF link Red tiles he says and a few pics I have agree Very patchy white over the red brick seems to have been the look just about everywhere in the Belgian rural setting 1815 |
