AG i've been sitting here wondering about an over all wash and the pin wash. I guess being desert it should be very lightly done as well as a careful application of dust applied in select areas.  ?? I'm going to go back to the net photos i've found and study those for awhile.
Thanks Mates Tony lee  |

A heavy pinwash should ruin the desert look, just a subtle one for a light shadow effect.
I'm sure you'll turn it into a stunning model.

I feel it worked for me,steak and eggs would really chill me out if I could afford the steak.  I was so pumped I got the base colors on the figures too.  Tony lee |

Base colors applied to the figures so they can dry overnight.

Tony lee Just something I noticed here Tony,and forgive me if I'm wrong,but are you sure tankies would be so buttoned up in the desert? I know it can get cold at night,but in the heat of the day,I'da thought shorts,and vest,or shirt mighta been enough? |

I could take another picture with the lights off and it would be night time.
I admit I never even noticed,forgive me i'm gettin older by the minute.It was the only UK figures I had in the stash and I just grab them. I know, they've got tanker coveralls on and their summer uniforms are underneath.
Works for me how about you? Tony lee
