My "method", such as it is, is roughly as smart as Brando's in Apocalypse Now, i.e. not at all. First I wash the miniatures in soapy water, then I primer them with Tamiya Extra Fine grey primer, then I airbrush them Tamiya NATO Black, and then I carefully use small pieces of poster putty to mask wherever I want black strips and then go over them again with NATO Green. THEN, I give them a dark brown ink wash. They actually look reasonably decent in person, but there's still more to do. I need to paint the treads (Testors acrylic RAF Dark Earth, drybrushed with silver), seal them with a Future clearcoat, and then possibly apply formation sign decals using the GHQ ones intended for WWII vehicles. Then I'll seal them up with Testors Dullcoate. Phew!
