Priming + Shading the models with airbrush

I primed them first with olive drab paded from AK real colours. This paint is solvent based so thinned with thinner.

Then I made a wash of scale75 raw umber (so mixed with a lot of water)

The idea is to making the bases like ripple sand. Iff they just set foot on the fresh wet sand of Normandy.

I use model paste to creat this effect. Model paste is used to add 3d effect or thick acrylic paint.

You could even add a color to it.
