Dot filtering WW2 Olive Drab AFVs

[Stokesy44]

Hi all

A quick question if I may. I plan to dot filer my M10 and I was wondering what the best colours were to use? I've only used the technique once before and I think I overused lighter brighter colours such as white and yellow. Maybe its a volume thing, I don't know.

Also, what sort of brush work should I employ on the horizontal surfaces?

As always, many thanks in advance

I used cad yellow, burnt umber, and a sap green, For a recent Sherman build. Sometimes I will use off white, cream and black but that gives a very faded look. I tend to use a largish round brush load with thinner like artist white spirit and take off most with a paper towel. Before doing downward strokes.

Adam wilder does a kv in green on his YouTube channel and dot filters are used i think it's around episode 3 or 4?

Hope helps

Nice one. Thanks Nev. Found the vid on YT no probs.

I think I saw on one of Coen's vids that he used blue in his dot filter on a Sherman as the fading on olive drab sometimes took on a turquoise element.

On the brushwork for horizontal (flat?) surfaces I thinks its a stippling motion.
