      this is what I use for powder,s Steve,just the way I do it,I go and get the art pastels,that are cheap,
      and shave them down or use a moral and pestle ,the smash them into power,very much cheaper than the,
      mig or vallejo ones,some time the $2.oo shops have them as well,

        I like the idea of using a ladies make up brush, good for dabbing. I've recently bought some willow charcoal which can be ground up onto sandpaper and applied using a brush, it's good for creating burn marks or generally making something look more grubby, but you have to be careful as only a small amount is needed!

          HI Jim,
          great looking model. I am just wondering what brand wash you use or if you make your own what you use to make it, that would be great as I'm still quite new to all this stuff

          p.s.
          sorry I'm so late to this post

            Hi Julian, wash is a home made concoction of cheapo craft acrylic paint, black and any reddish brick like color and some plain brown.
            Various levels of thinness and color modulation can be utilized for varied effects.

            Finished model can be seen in Completed Civilian Vehicles (lories, vans and trucks) forum under "Log Forwarder" title.
            .
