Painting Napoleonic British Infantry With (Mostly!) Contrast [How I Paint Things]

It's often said that painting historical miniatures is fraught with difficulties. After all, if you want to get precisely the correct shade of blue or green on a uniform, it requires a paint purchased specifically for the purpose, right? Even when it's a tiny detail tucked under a miniature's arm? The truth is, as much as painting anything fictional, there's a degree of 'good enough' which is personal to everyone approaching the subject, and if you're looking for something relatively quick and simple to knock out large amounts of infantry for a historical project, Contrast really can be of some use. With 'The Silver Bayonet' nearing release, I need a handful of extra British infantry really quickly!
