Yups Dan, odorless white spirit as well here, seems it doesn't leave any marks when dry it's less "oily"so to speak. (If you know what I'm trying to say). For wood I always use VanDyke brown over a dark yellow acrylic base, when dry I put a very small amount Burnt Sienna in the utmost edges ans blend that in with a moist paintbrush....gives you a more lively finish with just a hint of red on the edges....

Re: Sherman M4(105)
OK, after a time of silence, it's time to post some progress pics. I have to say that the colors in the pics are more harsh then in reality....
Enjoy!!
