Thanks,
Harridan Wings and Chitin:
After quite a bit of thought I decided to just do the wings in hand rubbed P3 'Umbral Umber.' First applying a base coat of Cardboard Carton paint and letting dry over night
which is a flat beige similar to the AV 'Khaki' but a lot cheaper for large coverage.
I then airbrushed on a light coat of 'Umbral Umber' and rubbed it into the base coat while still wet working the paint into the base coat with wetted thumb and palm of hand until excess came off in fine rolls. This gave a glossy parchment texture to the large wing surfaces.

The large flat surfaces of the wings came out a bit blotchy but that should be rectified by the next coat of AV 'Light Brown':

The fringe of 'Light Brown on the chitin segments look too perfect to my taste but we'll see when the washes are applied...........
