Tamiya Weathering Kit

Posted this in the wrong forum inadvertantly this morning - perhaps the other could be locked? Sorry!

Hi folks

I have just received a Tamiya Weathering Master kit and wondered if anyone had any experience of using the item and had any advice over and above what the leaflet says!

Thanks in advance

Gareth

Three pastel colours for weathering and a small applicator with a brush on one end and a "sponge" on the other.

Go down to your local art shop and ask to see the soft pastel selection,you can get all of the earth colours burnt umber,yellow ochre etc these are much cheaper and will last you for a long time.They are ideal for weathering,you can apply them with a brush picking up the dust,you get very subtle effects for exhausts,dirt lines etc etc best thing to do is use an old model to practise on before you use them on your pride and joy. You can fix the pastel with artists fixative or spray on matt varnish.
