My next quick build out the way ready for more airbrushing practice. This time I wanted to give colour modulation a try as I've seen it on other models done with a nice effect. It'll also gives me a chance to get more experience mixing paints and thinning. I'm not sure if I've done it correctly but these were my steps and results:
Step 1 - Grey primer all over
Step 2 - Olive and black acrylic mix thinned and then built up layers of shadow (or just edges - I just used my imagination)
Step 3 - Olive acrylic thinned and then layered over model
Step 4 - Olive and sand mix thinned, each layered pass with more sand to lighten the tone all the time being careful not to airbrush over the effects of step 2. Found this a little tricky as I have a ham-fisted airbrushing approach - more practice needed!
Anyway, results are:

Hopefully, I'll have time to work on it some more as I need to wipe away the memory of Arsenal losing to the spuds out my head.
