Painting Guide #2; Bavaria

 These Bavarians were first painted several years ago and the blue uniform colours chosen at that time I now consider to be wrong. Thus I have overpainted the coats and retouched the white to give a more fresh appearance.

Generic colours are; 

Undercoat - 924,    Black highlight - 994,    Flesh - 955,    White - 820,    Brass - 801,    Gold - 996,
