Grant, I can't thank you enough for the time you put into this. Weathering is one subject that seems to crop up on here time and time again and is the one thing we are always looking for tutorials on.

Your weathering looks superb on your U-boat so I am definately going to have a play around with some techniques you have described. I particularly like the way the rust is brush applied as I am not a great fan of using an airbrush for rust effects. I just don't think it forms that way!

When you have finished what do you seal the oils with? I am not happy with the spray on matt varnish I used on the sub so I am thinking of a coat of painted on Humbrol matt varnish, which is very much more matt than the finish I currently have.
