Filters? What for? Filters have two uses for me (of course, just my opinion!!!!) :laugh:
1.- Change the color of any part of the kit
2.- Bend the base color.
With a very rich base color, is not neccesary (1 out)
If I made a very rich base, why should I hide or bend it? Yes, I know that I´m a little bit extreme modeller with the different colors ....... sorry ....
In my opinion, washes make all the contrast more natural and atractive.... so, time for washes!
Thanks for looking!!!

I've been trying to work that out for a long time Paddy, just don't understand how they do it

Paddy .... a complicated question! It depends on the kit. Let me explain.
With wheeled vehicles, I strongly recommend to glue the painted wheels at the end, but on tracked tanks, not always. If your´re going to make a heavily muddy tank, I´d glue all togheter as the base color of the mud is the same everywhere. With a no heavy weathered hull, I recommend to paint the different parts separately.
My Abrams is a special case. Excepting the MG, I glued all togheter as I´d be able to reach with the pencil to every visible place in the wheels and tracks. I needed to have those lateral protections glued to see the global view of the kit and decide the intensity of the different base color here and there.
In my case, I always try to have as much parts glued as possible before painting a kit, as some times, I spoil the paint where I glue parts!
So, depends on the kit and also about your skills.
More steps, oils
