So I'll just happily enjoy your fine work on them.Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440651466738763322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-59840081407674422212017-01-25T20:18:11.789-06:002017-01-25T20:18:11.789-06:00I love seeing FFL!

Especially after some time on campaign. I often used multiple shades and variying washes to give a unit a 'lived-in' look. <br /><br />I've painted a couple of these as WWI French officers and agree, they are wonderful figures.

I got the same info from my wife, who sees and quilts and works with fabric a lot. Even straight off the loom no two batches of cloth are identical. That's why yarn and cloth list the dye lot n the labels.
