For chain, I usually go with black, because I don't want any "windows". White or grey work very well as undercoat colours. A tip I picked up off Simon MacDowall, is to wash the white or grey with a very thin coat of burnt umber, which brings out the detail, prior to putting the base coat on.<br /><br />Cheers, SimonBigRedBathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622983082204451158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880538120094882531.post-66838531483659159962013-03-22T20:33:31.840+00:002013-03-22T20:33:31.840+00:00I love these, beautifully executed.
