Due to some comments received on some previous build about the finish on my builds I have decided to do a quick SBS. I hope it won't bore you and there are many ways of achieving a good finish but this works for me.
Once the main colours have been painted the whole build receives a gloss coat of your choice, I use Johnsons Klear floor seal. This is allowed to dry at least overnight. Then the decals are applied and another clear coat which again is allowed to dry.
Next various oil colours are applied to some card, this allows the oils to leech out. I use white various browns and greens. The ratio of which will depend on the base colours.
Next using a fine brush apply small dots of the oils I tend to apply white all over then dark over light and light over dark so the light colours are darkened and the dark lightened if that make sense. Then using a soft flat brush dampened in clean turps, I use Windsor and Newton odourless. The brush is drawn down a few times until the streaks are a strong or feint as you require. One thing to bear in mind is to try and follow the direction that rain would follow on the vehicle ie down and to the edges.
As you can see it gives a nice streaked effect and helps to blend the colours together. It looks a little more bleached in the picture than in reality.
Hope this is of some use.
Next I have applied some pin washes and chipping.
Finally
Pigments have been added to the hull.
still lots of work to do but it's getting there.
cheers Scottie

Yes thanks.
I've tried pretty much the same method before (it seems to be called a dot filter by many) I just haven't gotten the same results yet! You seem to use much smaller dots than I have but many more of them. Maybe that's the key?

That really is well done Paul. I like the work on the tools and around the back of the turret. The underneath is not over done and looks suitable dirty. Well done mate
