I love the trick of masking with the foil mate, I got to try that out myself by the way, the rivets look superb

Thanks mate but I'm still confused , I now know what a filter does but I still don't know what a filter is , do you make yourself , can you buy it , is there a company that makes them and what do I look for ?\ said:Alan, in that a wash is thinned paint, a filter is tinted thinner. Take a quantity of thinner & add a brush with your desired filter colour, stir the thinner so the brush is clean & there's your filter!If I was doing late German armour in a 3 colour scheme, I'd add a brown filter over the matt paint. This 'ties' the 3 colours together.
It's vital to apply a filter onto matt paint, otherwise it'll run off the surface.
There's a good article explaining it better than I can here
