GNW Swedish query

Hi guys, just starter work on my GNW starter and was wondering what blues people use for the coats on GNW Swedes. I tried Vallejo Dark Prussian Blue but with the figures being so small they just look black.

Hi Richie, the advice that I always give is use a colour a couple of shades lighter than you think you need, especially over a black undercoat.  All the Swedes on the site were painted using a Vallejo Flat Blue.  It looks way too light when you look at it, but it works really well.   Purists may object, but they're just...well...purists.


I have plans.   I am dangerous when I have plans...
