I have put a base coat of dark green on my Cromwell.now i want to give it a dry brush using humbrol light green,should i shoot some future on first before i drybrush it or after.please help me as it is christmas (:-) after all.cheers

I usually put Future on before drybrushing but only because my washes work better with Future applied than on a flat finish and I always dry brush after the wash.

what is this "Future" you guys are reffering ?

You want to dry brush on a "flat " surface, the flat surface grabs the paint off of the brush making it easier and more effective. I've seen where some guys use future before washing, having an opposite effect, the washed paint has an easier time following the panel lines and creases(and doesn't bleed) when the surface has a gloss coat.

Future floor wax. It's an acrylic wax that has a LOT of uses to us modelers.
