Superb guide Virgil , pretty much along the lines of what the experienced armour and ww2 aircraft builders do , but A great step by step guide for eveyone new to this type of weathering including me although I have understood the theory for a long time I`ve never put it into practice yet its great to see a step by step guide , you`ve made me wan`t to make a right old rust bucket of a model next LOL

Here's more . . .



I busted up one of the headlight lenses to give it more attitude . . .



The BMF I had applied earlier got wrinkled which I do not like, but I think it looks all right . . .



My aim was to create a bit of exposed metal . . .

Thanks, Richy.

I tell you it's a blast and I hope more people will do it . . . all you need to think about is setting up anywhere between 3-as many shades of a color you want. I find that 3-5 work best.

A few rust streaks add a bit more realism . . . etc . . .

At this point I have a confession to make, and I don't know if this happens to you, but when I start final assembly I often have to force myself to slow down because I get so excited and this is the stage where I tend to make lots of mistakes . . . so a word of caution . . . take it slow, enjoy the build as it comes together in its final stages . . .

That's pretty much all there is to this simple and basic technique . . . next time you are weathering one of your models, I urge you to give it a try . . .

Again I Love it , must also add Virgil your photograghy is 1st class , yet another modelling area that I`ve got to improve on
