[WWI] Ecru and Blanc-bleute

[Aidrian Bridgeman-Sutton]

I'm glad I am not the only one using Ceramcoat, thoughIi will admit to
having a few(?) bottles of model paint as well, though I tend to use
Ceramcoat paints to season acrylic model paints rather than on their
own.

However I'm not sure about the French colours needing a metallic base,
at least in small scales - the impression I get seems to be more of a
solid opaque clour which reflects light in specific way rather than
like the paint job on a Ford Focus
