Step1: Primer

I tend to use what I have at hand, this time it's a normal hardware shop light grey primer. The best I've used to far it's Tamiya Grey Fine Surfice Primer, I'm not airbrushing it up, as I'm lazy and I don't want to deep clean my pen every time :)

Inspired by the new Bolt Action supplement "Battle of the Bulge"
I decided to give a go to a see through winter camo for the youngsters of my 12nd SS Panzerdivision HJ

Unfortunately I missed some pictures in the step by step, you have to use a bit of imagination, I'll try to be as descriptive as possible

Step 1. Basecoat
As you need to apply several layers of paints and other products, strip down and scrape some of them you need a very high quality primer. I've used Vallejo Black Polyurethane Primer but Army Painter's spray it's a good one too.

Step 2.
Leaving black in the recesses I've airbrushed Dunkelgelb (I use Tamyia for spraying so it's XF 60 Dark yellow) and modulated the color adding more and more lighter color (Tamiya XF 55 Deck Tan)
