Hi all.

Been out of the hobby for about 8 years (if the old issues of TMMI I pulled out of storage are any way to carbon date) and I'm a little rusty.

My 1st kit back is a tamiya 105mm Sherman my father in law gave me and I'm giving the winter camo finish a crack.

Heres my problem, I'm not sure how to blend the stark white with the olive drab. I'm painting the base OD, applying gloss, decals, masking for chips then spraying it white. I'm thinking I should give the upper surfaces a light grey wash to tone down the white and green and tie them together. does that make sense? Or would a different colour work better?

Thanks for your time.

Jeff

Friend,
I would suggest first, using an off white or dirty white to start with. Your washes are pretty unlimmited but I would avoid the 'Lamp Black" that is typically used for washes. Stick to more earth tones or reddish browns perhaps. And keep them light and build up to the color/look you are after. It is easier to build up your color than it is to go in heavy handed and over do it initialy.
