Thanks for the useful responses.  Much food for thought (and for use).

Paulr, when you say "a dusty dry dry dry brush highlight", is that with a grey or other colour paint?

I use Vallejo Deck Tan (VAL986) https://www.pendraken.co.uk/vallejo-model-colour-acrylics-deck-tan-val986

It is warmer than a grey. I apply it with a 1" artist brush. I apply the paint to one side of the brush, as a very dry brush. Then use the back of the brush to do a very very light dry brush. If you can see it going on its not light/dry enough

You can see some 10mm ECW results here https://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,17480.msg262344.html#msg262344

Thanks for the explanation, Paulr - much appreciated.  (And great ECW figures: my first wargames in the mid-80s were with 15mm ECW Mike's Models figures - but they looked very different to yours as my painting was lamentable at that point.)

And thanks, Mark - for the really helpful post and subsequent links (which I will explore tomorrow when I have some down-time from work).
