Hey Rob,
Yeah, Ive seen his artile on his US Tanker in Military Modeling, and it is indeed a very interesting technique. Im not sure that it is for me though as I am terrible at drybrushing.
Vince,
I hear ya! But this way it is made simple with good results. The padded jacket is one of my favourites as it is a blast to paint (Atleast it was in 1/35th scale, not sure about this scale), and its cool looking!
