Battle smoke effect.

Greetings,
I have just finished a 120mm Kings Colour. It was painted with Vallejo acrylics.
I now want to give it that dirty/smoke Battlefield effect. I was thinking of useing a very thined
Vallejo transparent Smoke 70,939. misted through an airbrush.

Has anybody tried this?
Will it work??

Thanks Mick

It can dry shiny Mick.

Em aluminus smoke not quite what I had in mind.
Do you think it would dull down if its sprayed with
a matt varnish or Taniya dull.

Touch of Tamiya X21 in with it Mick, not to much or it will dry chalky.
I'd mix some and try it, before committing.

Hi Mick,have you tried charcoal,just get a stick and crush it into powder and then apply it with an old brush,you could also use soft pastel sticks with the same method

Hi Brian,
No I haven't . If you were to mat varnish the figure after would it have a reaction?.

Look forward to seeing you at Euro
