IDF Nag Man updates

I have decided to do this article posting on reverse. The first picture shows that the model has the pastels fixed in place with my flow enhancer and matt varnish.

The model was faded subsequently with pastels from Schminke of Germany with yellow, green, brown, orange, purple, black and khaki colours to get uneven green tones before they are fixed in place.

The model was dusted with a light wash of 90% diluted Vallego sand. More attention is paid to the top surfaces. Then the whole model was give a filter of 95% thinned Tamiya Enamel Sand, light brown and Panzer grey to give the impression of depth.

Top view of the sandy Vallego wash of sand that has been fixed using Panzer grey filters from Tamiya diluted 95% by volume with Daley Rowley Thinners.

Sandy highlight done with Vallego sand with 80% dilution with water, flow enhancer, glaze medium and matte varnish.

Rain marks added to the preshaded two tone green olive drab finish.

Decals are drilled once it cured over 48 hours.

The base coat is epoxy resin matte black. Clouded over with Tamiya XF74 Dark Green and shaded with Tamiya XF64 Medium Green. These are toned with Acetone or Gunze thinners. Then the model is given Raw Umber.
