I did order the Black Dog hessian camo set but for some reason I just don't like the look of it. But I have added some of the stowage. I've decided to try a few of the "Spanish school" armour techniques just for fun - some colour modulation (but not as bold and obvious as some), so three or four different shades of green from top to bottom varying in intensity before applying post shading to the tank overall and picking out highest spots in a lighter paint with a brush results in this:- And then a couple more shades of the original colour misted over to blend it all in:- And that's stage one before we get into washes, filters and other fun stuff!
