Trumpeter Painting instructions help

Thanks for the help guys!

I'd mix up a very minimum batch and compare to a color chip of what it's supposed to be and see if you're happy with it.

So using the colors I have bought already, pretty much just mix the colors they say until i am happy with the end color?

And thanks capnmac, that link will prove useful!

In a callout for mixing they will usually say "3 parts of color x and 2 parts of color y" or whatever the proportions may be.  Makes no difference if measuring by the drop, ounce, or gallon.  How accurate that color may be is up in the air.

Trumpy has a habit of hiring Bakster's monkeys to write painting instructions.

So, you need a grain of salt near a 1 kg salt lick when using them.

Now, yes, the presumptions is that X + Y = 50/50 mixing.  Whether that resultant color even aproximates Royal Navy colours is subject to interpretation.

Arguably, the best colour match available is from Colourcoats, out of England.  So a person might believe they might be a bit accurate, being British and all.

I want to say that there is an AK set of RN colours available, but I could be wrong.

When I built Rodney, my LHS had just started carrying Humbrol (enamels in the teeny tins), and I want to remember they had RN colours in their inventory.
