AK Interactive: 3G Black Uniform Base
$4.99
Black Uniform Base, the starting color for black uniforms on historical figures, from AK Interactive's Figures range.
Black is the hardest uniform color to paint well. Pure black leaves no room for shadows, so the folds disappear and the figure turns into a silhouette. Painters get around it by starting from a black that is not quite black, so there is space to shade down into the recesses and highlight up along the folds while the cloth still reads as black from a normal viewing distance. That is the job of a base color like this one, the first coat over the uniform before the shading and highlights go on.
The Figures label marks AK's compilation of very specific colors for painting historical figures, including WWI, WWII and modern uniforms. The 3rd Generation formula is non toxic, very highly pigmented, and made to airbrush cleanly when thinned rather than clogging, while covering smoothly under a brush. The cap shows the color.
