Neutral gray on the bottom and the first of the OD on the top with a soft line between the OD and gray done by pulling the edge of the masking tape away. This bird will be heavily weathered so I'll add another shade of OD in several places then go nuts with washes and pastels.

I started working on the weathering tonight. The first picture shows what I'm going for. It's pretty intense weathering so I decided to do something more than just a wash and pastels. I sprayed darkened OD in areas more of less trying to match the picture with my finest airbrush (picture 2), and then blended it in with a cotton swab just barely moistened with mineral spirits (pictures 3 4). Just a start, but I think I'm on the right track.
