[Armour] Painting with watercolor Guaches

[MJB]

Hi,

I have noticed that over the past several years in Military Modelling
aritcles on painiting armour, authors use water-color Guaches to depict
the typical German tri-colour scheme.

Most recently, an article in June's Military Modelling shows a Panther
base-painted in the Humbrol German yellow followed by a green and red
brown camo pattern painted in Guaches. I am interested to know what the
two specific colours were used for the green and brown camo scheme i
th Guache series and what brand of Guaches are best to achieve this
effect.

Has anyone attempted to paint with Guaches - any tips ?

Thank you,

MJB

Well, first off Gauche is a water based paint so you will need to seal it
I guess, but what I really want to know is... why bother? My god aren't
the paints currently available "good" enough?

Now, I have seen some great weathering techniques using water colors, but
I don't think that's what you are talking about here.

Why do I get the idea that there are going to be 30 messages posted on
