I've been working on the trench and painting has now started.


I started with an overall base of matt black.


I then used several mixes of browns,desert yellowish colour and tan.This was all airbrushed.


Next I will be adding washes and a lot more weathering.

I've been adding weathering with oils(washes and drybrushing)


I used numerous colours at this stage.


I think I may add some pastels(ground) to it as well.But I'm not fully sure yet whether to do this.I'll have a good look at it and think.
