Thanks Ginger!
I will just copy the text I wrote on another forum (if you do not mind):
It is a technique meant to depict paint jobs or or whitewashes that are wearing off, leaving the underlying scheme or base coat to show through. Essentially, you paint your model in the colour you want to show through in the end and then give it a coat of gloss varnish (to create a smooth surface to work on). Then you apply the hairspray and once dry (it is best to leave a couple of hours between he steps) airbrush the colour you want chipped off to over the hairspray. It is important to use an airbrush, since you need a virtually dry application. If you brush it on, the paint and hairspray will mix and the next step will not work anymore. Afterwards you use a brush with stiff bristles which you dabbed in warm water (best to remove some water from the brush so it is not completely soaked) to rub over the model where you want the paint to rub off. Once that is done, you can do the normal painting, weathering detailing an so on.

Well, it would work with paint from spray cans as well. I have heard people have achieved good results by applying dry-brush like coats of paint over the hairspray, but they all did not post photos, so no idea if it really works!

So after the more than a month hiatus on my blog (except for the Liebster Award), I am back with an AAR. We played “Purple Heart Hill” from the SkirmishCampaigns book “Normandy ´44 – Heroes of Omaha and Panzer Lehr” book using the Battlegroup Overlord rules. http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/06/10/two-games-of-battlegroup-normandy-part-1/We had another game this weekend and I will try to post a report tomorrow. Enjoy, Burkhard  |

Just posted some pictures of the terrain i did last week. Some unkept hedges that could possible be used as simple Bocage as well: http://dhcwargamesblog.wordpress.com/2014/07/03/hedges-and-roads/Hinges on the gates are actually working. Need to do some more in coming months, but I used up far less foliage clumps than expected, so there is room for much more! Enjoy, Burkhard   |
