...or a kick in the behind.
To set the record straight for me and others that are new or uncertain..

1. Pre-shading
2. Undercoat
3. Camo colours
4. Chalk pastels
5. Future x 2 coats
6. Decals
7. Future x 2 coats
8. Dull or matt coat

Many thanks
Cheers

Hi ya flitz! Your setup is ok. Although, I would recommend decals first before pastels

Here's what I do:
1. Wash with soap + water
2. prime (optional)
3. paint the interior
4. paint the body
5. paint the area where body meets the interior
6. gloss finish (or future)
7. decals
8. gloss finish
9. wash
10. pastels/ drybrush
11. dull coat

Thanks Shonnen...
I'll give it a try the way you've suggested.

The Bv 155 for the Pig stash bash was done as the steps I outlined.

Cheers
Peter
