Time to get dirty

With the Airfix Stolly in green and the wheels painted up it is time to get dirty!

I start off with a dilute brown wash which sounds as though it will not really do much but take a look at the before and after on these wheels.

Applying the wash to the body of the Stolly makes you initially think that the model is ruined.

However, once gravity works taking the pigment down and the wash dries the effects are very subtle but realistic as to how vehicles get dirty in real life.

All this is the result of three applications of wash. Just let each one dry before applying the next and let gravity work!
