Johns Relics Resurrection
THE RED COAT!
They are coming!
The Red coats are the most eye-catching element of the models. From a distance you know what these little guys are about SPREADING COLONIALI-…..Being a cohesive military force…. yes.
1: Dragon Red: A beautifully rich red for the basecoat.
2: Resplendent Red: Used to pick out areas between details, like stitches. Same principle with the “skin” adds a little tone (and may be the step skipped for unit painting)
3: Magenta Tone: A deep purple wash to punch into those details! (applied all over the coat)
4: Angelic Red: A final highlight to catch those stitches and sharp edges.
A fine looking beginning of paint. I’ll be a bastard and offer the idea of doing your shadows in the folds of the coat in a watered down purple ink through the airbrush to kick off the contrast.
