How do you make your own? Seems like just the tip of the iceberg seems like theirs tons of techniques.\ said:Your choice comes down to buying pre-mixed stuff or making your own.The former is much more expensive & ultimately limits what you can do. It is slightly more convenient I guess.
Personally, washes I make as needed from oil paints. They're easy to use & remain workable for much longer than acrylics or even enamels.
Instead of the Tamiya weathering kits, buy some artists soft pastels - grind them up & apply ' as is ', or via a medium such as white spirit for a 'sludge wash ' to create dust effects.
That's what I did on my SU-152.

The rest of weathering is done with paint - sponge chipping, salt chipping, hairspray technique etc.
