I've started painting the ACW riverine boats with an overall blocking in of Foundry Spearshaft Shade on the bases. I chose this colour after a bit of a palette test of various potential shades, as it's a nice opaque finish and I can drybrush it up to bring out the texture on the bases, followed by a wash to add some definition. I don't know how well it replicates the actual muddy colour of the Yazoo but I think it looks suitably brown. It's also a fairly close match for artist's acrylic Burnt Sienna, which I can use to paint the modular river terrain sections that I'm planning to scratch build.
