I decided to experiment with a different shade of blue for my pre-dreadnought base coat today, having almost run out of the Foundry Union Blue that I’ve used up to date. This has been problematic as it has got progressively darker over time for some reason, not matching my sea cloth as well as I’d like. Instead, I’m trying out Vallejo Prussian Blue as a basecoat, with the plan being to wash and drybrush over the top, once the models have been painted. It’s not quite a match now but I’m hoping it will work out OK but, if not, I can always go back to my tried and tested method.
