Winter Cammo

Have been scouting around various scale modelling sites for hints and tips on winter cammo and found this little gem.
It's called the hairspray method and will make us all even more popular with our wives and girlfriends.
Basically you have your tank detailed and painted in it's base colour.
You 'acquire' a tin of hairspray and lightly coat your starting panel ( in my case turret roof )
Wait for the hairspray to dry, about 5 minutes and apply a coat of flat white to the panel.
When the paint has dried, take a cup of "hottish" water and a clean soft brush.
Start to wash away the matt white from the areas of base colour you want to show through. ( area's of greatest wear )
Have some tissue or kitchen roll ready to dab off the goo that is created.
I'm very happy with the outcome which took about 15 minutes.
Here's a pic of work in progress.......
