Gnomemeansgnome, I'm very glad if this is useful for you. As I said before, I'm pretty new to this, so I'm learning as I go!A coat of Testor's "Dullcote" matt lacquer to dull the finish and protect the decals, then a dot filter with artist's oils in various shades of yellow and brown. I kept the dots more or less random, but I favoured the lighter shades on the upper surfaces, and the darker ones for the shadowy parts. Then I blended them by drawing downward with a clean brush soaked in thinner. Then a pin wash with Van Dyke brown in the small recesses.
