I'm having a hard time trying to drybrush my kits. Anyone has a step by step drybrushing technique? Pictures could be more helpful.

I found a nice little piece on drybrushing, although its a winged thing, the technique is the same.

One least question, how do I pick the colors for my drybrushing? My base color for one of my model is interior green and for my F-16 is German grey.

Red,
Usually I dry brush using successively (sp?) lighter shades of the original color. Take your interior green for example, and add a little white. Dry brush with this fairly heavily. Add a bit more white and dry brush more lightly. Keep doing this until you just barely touch the highlights on the kit with paint that is almost white...

HTH,

Shaun
