I started off the weathering work with a dark brown enamel wash. Surprisingly for me nothing fell off so I must have been more cautious than usual lol. I streaked, cleaned up and blended it before it was fully dry.
I also did some splattering with the AB turned down really low, and added a bit of extra shading/shadows around the rivet lines and panel joints. Seems a bit over-done right now, especially on camera, but I'm hoping it'll tone down once I start splashing oils & mud around. Did some work on the tools too, then it had a good coat of matt varnish to seal it all in.
Shortly after these pictures as I was moving it into the house to dry in the warm, I dropped the main turret, breaking the antenna and damaging the barrel. Smashing!
