The King is rightly dressed in blue/indigo as the dye for that fabrique material was specific for nobalty and the rich being hard to come by.

Cheers,
Richard

The man in the street used Woad for a blue dye Richard. Richer colours came from imported indigo though. The rarest dye was Tyrian purple, obtained from murex shells and only allowed to be worn by nobility in Roman times, for example…... Apparently this colour didn’t fade, it got more purple over time……

Thanks the committee for me John, it’s very much appreciated. I would do it myself but I’m off to hide from Matron…..will Guatemala be far enough do you think?

Tim, unfortunately Matron is like a heat seeking missile, bit like the advert for JL , where as they said "never knowingly undersold " Matron's is " Never knowingly escaped " Good luck.

Just noticed these, bit late to the party here but wow, these are exceptionally good! This is as good as it gets in my opinion; can't see how you can surpass these figures. Try some Zvezda 1/72 scale military figures next Tim!

Thanks Gavin, very kind comments.
There is a thread on here where I painted some of those 20mm Germans Gavin, doing an SBS as I went along. It’s in the Simon T tribute group build if you want to look them out. It can be found here….

I used the famous "Marlow Method" recently to paint the pilot and navigator on my 1/72 Mossie. Not that you can see much of them with the canopy on.

'ere...
"The Marlow Method" has been quoted so many times on this site,(deservedly so,as it is excellent ),that I'm thinking Tim should start claiming Royalty fees !!

On the other hand, Tim is seriously starting to think about changing his name Andy…….give me a break lads, I never invented any of this, just stuck it together from sources many and various…..

Perhaps not........but you were thoughtful enough to put up a "tutorial" on the things you took years to learn and perfect and to share with those of us who are inexperienced in such "dark art" as to give us the confidence to try and better ourselves and we appreciate that and just want you to know........so there! :tongue-out3: :tongue-out2: :tongue-out:
