I unknowingly had some suitable GW foundation paints already so I'll give them a bash.<br /><br />@Tony:<br />Roger that, I guess that's what I'm already doing.

I have on occasions used White.<br /><br />Aeronef - White undercoat.<br /><br />Terrain - Again a mix mainly white but I have also used Black and Brown.<br /><br />In summary - I believe that the choice of undercoat is dependent on the figure, the intended colour scheme and personal preference. I would suggest trying ALL undercoating styles and not thinking that you have to stick to just ONE.<br /><br />I hope that this helps.<br /><br />Tony<br />http://dampfpanzerwagon.blogspot.com/Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167770417289351340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726568977559996815.post-46796543800194499172011-10-20T10:18:50.733+01:002011-10-20T10:18:50.733+01:00In my experience a lot brands have this problem wi...In my experience a lot brands have this problem with red, orange and yellows.

As you know, I use a ton of yellow in my undead, and I still use a black undercoat, then a coat of the appropriate foundation colour, then your chosen colour, voila, smooth basecoat.Mr Saturdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092917415087033316noreply@blogger.com
