    Thought I would explain my paint system with my French figures that suites me - After priming I paint the faces and hands first, then comes the straps, I then paint the Off White Habi Vests and turn backs, then because of me mixing up a shade of Off White - I paint their trousers, I then mix some different shades of Off White, Buff or even Brown for their trousers, I then paint their jackets in the Dark Blue, this is followed by thier facings then Brass buttons, Shako details, Back Pack, Sword and details, I then paint their socks and shoe details. After leaving to dry I follow up with a Dark Earth wash for the face and hands, and a Dark Wash all over the torso/legs (removing in areas I want clean), I then add some Dark Earth wash around the ankles and finish off with a dry brush Dust around the ankles. OC.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
