for a dry brush i do always try not to use white,but a liter shade of what the color is,as the same with if some think is black,


I only use true black in the deepest parts ,and the rest will be a blue/blck or very dark gray/black, if that's any help,

The body is a "Military Green" ......... I went over it with a Grey wash. Which I think gives it a bit of a worn look......... I'll try the dry brush on it ......... and now it's been pointed out that seam line on his right arm needs sorting.

As moni says use a lighter colour for your dry brush and just flick it over the raised areas


This is a tank commander I did a few years back and I used revels dust grey [ATTACH]116718.IPB[/ATTACH]

If it's dark green use a light olive colour that's what I use on German troops

thats what i do mean,

[takeslousyphotos]

I obviously have much to learn "Kemosabe".

[monica]

it all come with time and some days I just cannot get it right so leave for another day,

[Alan 45]

I agree just plug away it will all come together


The proccess I used when I started was


1 paint the figure in the desired colour


2 give it a dark wash so all the paint settles into the creases


3 dry brush the original colour so your left with the shadow in the creases


4 a lighter colour just over the top of the raised areas


I hope this helps you out mate
