For want of a good red.

Despite having finished that WWI German army, my progress on my British has been severely lacking.

Why?

Because I can't paint a good British red.

I know, it should be simple.  But the techniques I've used to paint red on other armies in the past haven't transferred well to the British.  They look downright sloppy.

I'm seriously considering another army instead.  Russians have been catching my eye lately; I think I read War and Peace one too many times, and have listened to too much Tchaikovsky...
