2/ Wash in Fairy liquid and allow to dry
3/ Shake a rattle can of Halfords grey primer for about 5 minutes then spray from about a foot away. Turn over and spray other side
4/ Go over main areas of colour in a darker shade of the intended top coat
5/ Load brush with intended top coat, wipe most off on a bit of kitchen roll and apply to same area again, leaving the darker base visible in creases and alongside belts, webbing and kit
6/ Repeat using a lighter shade of the base coat and less paint
7/ Hold figure so head is towards you and feet pointing away, and repeat 6 with a much lighter shade and hardly any paint on the brush at all
8/ Starting at the feet, apply dust and work up to the knees so boots are caked in it, shins and knees less so
9/ Try not to use the same colour anywhere twice, it looks like VGA 16-colour graphics
9/ Try not to use pure black or pure white anywhere either, these don't exist in these scales
10/ Uniforms faded like mad on campaign and weren't all the same colour anyway, and in fact a lot of DAK uniform items weren't even originally German, they were Italian or captured Commonwealth
11/ Shake can of Humbrol Matt Varnish for 10 minutes. Accept no substitute. Nothing else dries matt like Humbrol dries matt.
12/ Spray the figures as per 3 but be prepared to do this several times, as you will not get a complete solid coat in one go. Think of how long it took to get the primer colour solid - this will take as long, and as many coats.
