HI Guys,
I am looking at shortly starting to paint up some Libyan / Arab figures & was wondering if anyone had any tricks or idea's on how i can paint the head wear, sorry I am not sure how to spell the correct name of the head ware & don't want to offend anyone

Cheers Mike

paint them a light shade of the non-white color. Using a worn out brush, very conservatively dab the color on it. So, there are a few tiny spots of the actual color. I am assuming that the figures are 1/35.

I forgot. Put a few white dots on it, as well. Remember to keep the primary color and white subservient to the base color.
