Sorry to back track, Sharpie for the black outlines of the camo?
No problem and yes I used a Sharpie.

Ok I've hit the reset button on this project. I intend to take this to Eaglequest the third week of June so time is of the essence. The paint scheme I was attempting was taking too long and was not working the way I wanted so all new paint was in order. Now it will have a two color camo representing a tank from an American tank battlion so bare with me as the FT is reworked. The following pictures kinda show the different stages of painting. The colors are olive green and dark yellow.

What was wrong with what you had, I liked that.

You know the saying "The more you stir the pot the more it stinks" well you get the picture. It was taking too long to do I didn't like the look of it. Making more mess ups then I like.

I apply it with a brush. If the wash looks too thick or just too much then yes I will wipe it down a little. The first wash is really a filter then the details are done with pin washes. In this case the first wash was a mixture of olive green and raw umber oil paint. The pin wash is umber.
