Filters for Olive Drab

[Lish]

Hi All,

 

Busy building a Tamiya M4A3E8 Sherman. Finally got is airbrushed last night with Olive Drab, I went a lighter shade by mixing 50/50 (Olive Drab/Dark Yellow)

 

Now I need to start adding some filters and bit lost as to which shades of filters to apply. This is my second attempt at Armoured Vehicles so any help will do.

 

I have a full range of Windsor and Newton paints to make my own filters.

 

Thanks

Filters are used for a variety of reasons, but most often is more an artistic effect, so any colour you chose won't be considered as wrong.  Sticking to earth tones might be an idea, or military shades would be safe too.   There is also dot filters  using specs of varied oil paints - I've seen all kinds shades thrown this way, including pink and purple.

 

All kinds of hints on youtube, first one to show up on a search:

 

regards,

Jack
