A true bard, Mr. Stewart.<br /><br />The yelllow is a base of old GW 'Bubonic Brown' and then lifted with a mix of Bubonic Brown and PolyS Yellow. Final highlight with the Poly S Yellow. Sorry, I know, all old paints. I'm hooped for doing yellow when these finally die as they're well out of production. I'll have to cook-up a new recipe, perhaps with Vallejo's Yellow Ochre or GW's Zamesi Desert, we'll see.Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-75103818268166890562014-12-10T09:46:31.962-06:002014-12-10T09:46:31.962-06:00Thanks Alex.Thanks Alex.Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-71034319826734698582014-12-10T09:46:11.924-06:002014-12-10T09:46:11.924-06:00I know, I crept off to bed without updating the po...I know, I crept off to bed without updating the points roster.
