Sixteen Model Color shades for French and British uniforms from 1789 to 1815. The Napoleonic theme from white trousers to dark blue.
Responsibility details are not available.
The quarter of a century between the fall of the Bastille and Waterloo was the last time soldiers went into battle in colors that were meant to be seen. British line infantry in scarlet, the French in dark blue, and with them white trousers, brown belting and brass buttons. The set is built on exactly that palette.
The set also deals with what most often catches beginners out on Napoleonic figures: white is not painted with pure white. The off-white tone serves as the base, and pure white only as the final highlight on the folds. The same logic applies to red, where the richer shade is used in the shadows and the lighter one on the raised areas.
A water-based acrylic with a dropper suits figures precisely because it makes it possible to dose small amounts and to mix transitions on a palette. The paints dry matte, so the small surfaces of a uniform do not shine and the molded detail stays readable even after several coats.
The Napoleonic subject has the quality that details of a uniform differ from regiment to regiment. Before you reach for the brush, it is worth finding an illustration of the particular unit; the palette then offers enough tones for the differences in facings and in collar color to be captured properly.
