I did a search for this topic and was unable to find anything.
I am working on the build of a Le Solei Royal by Heller (see my build post ), I am getting close to the point were I will be starting to add the sails, I will not use the plastic sails that came with the kit, I am planning to use parchment paper to build my sails, my question is a simple one with a complicate answer: What color should I apply to the sails.
I am not very good in the color mixing of paints department, is there a commercials available color ( acrylic ) that I can use for my sails? What would be the best color combination for a ship of that era?
I was thinking of a base color applied with my airbrush ( maybe a very light sand or beige ) with some sort of a wash ( Using maybe a dark brown or black ) What would the good members of the blog would recommend?
Thanking you in advance
Joe
