I have a batch of 10mm Pendraken figures to paint up for the Second. Boer War. My intention is simply to do a suitable khaki spray for the basic uniform and then paint in the webbing with an off white. I intend to do a brown wash over the khaki and wonder if this should be done before the white is applied in case it makes the just look dirty. Any suggestions? |

I usually do it after the belts are painted. It does dirty them up a bit, but they still show white against the Khaki |

The belts get dirty in the field anyway. |

If it is a light wash, after. Otherwise before detailing. |

Thanks. I will probably be using GW sepia (whatever they call it nowadays) or slightly darker. I don't know how suitable Army Painter would be for 10mm. |

I would try 1/3 Agrax Earthshade with 2/3 Lahmian Medium, I have used it on several figures and tanks and it works very naturally, and doesn't mess up any white markings…so far! |

I usually put a coat of satin varnish on before the wash; this stops a lot of the staining of pale colours. The stain will stick in the creases and folds. |

Again, many thanks for the tips. |

I've been using "Antique Stain" by Folk Art (local arts and craft store had it). Use a deluded wash and them plot off extra. Works better and drys quicker than ink, also cheeper. |
