Another series of very interesting shots – the soaked through look of the fabric here is very enlightning. It almost seems to make the fabric translucent in places?

I wonder what the best route to duplicating this effect would be... – Perhaps using Tamiya smoke or some other mix of clear and brownish?

Thanks for posting James.

P.S. I'm using your excellent shots of the Vintage Beadmore for my FE 2b project – very good reference!
