Hey ya, that’s not bad at all!

Question: wheb is the Splintermuster Light Shade used?  Highlighting after painting the base color and before other spots etc, or after all is painted?

And, is the shader an ink for washing or is it a paint?

I apply the camo base colours then the highlights.

I then use the uniform filter, its neither a wash or a paint… it’s a very low pigment ‘stain’ with hardly any surface tension so it merely blends and discolours slightly the colours below. Brings it altogether.

I like the look where the colours feel they are printed on to the fabric and not paint on the surface. Perhaps it is this product which helps to blend the colours in that way. I have only seen a few examples where all the colours on a subject look like what they are supposed to be. I last saw it applied to multi coloured camouflage on a vehicle. It appeared as though the colours were chosen to match each other tonally but the reality was a wash of some sort helped bind all the very disparate colours together with similar results to your work.

Is this “uniform filter” part of the package shown, and if so which product, or is a separate product and if that is the case by whom and a product code would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Thank you.  Is this a separate AK product?

The uniform filters come as a pack of three, on their own.

These I assume? Thank you.

Yes that’s the set mate.

I mainly use the Dark Brown on camo, and the green on Field Grey.

I had no idea that product existed.  They expand their lines so quickly!  Thank you.
