I did the wash work on the BTR. I started off with a diluted overall beige, blending filter of oils and mineral spirits followed by the pin washes. The vehicles looked well maintained so I will add just a few scratches and dings around some of the hatches and than start on the pigments.

I am in the home stretch on the BTR. I added an airbrushed dust layer of Acryl Matte tinted with a drop of Vallejo Iraqi Sand and Dark Mud. I then added the pigments and used AK Middle East Soil. That was then sealed with AK Pigment Fixer. I just have to add some small details and the front window covers. In true early Dragon/Zvezda fashion it won't sit level on eight wheels so a base will be needed.
