Ok, first of all.. seeing all of the great models has gotten me in the mood to do some again. Most of my painting comes from miniature sci-fi war gaming (WH40K is anyone cares to know). I've hand painted several hundered individual "men" in a variety of armor, uniforms, and skin coloring. I've done dozens of vehicles. So, please before some of you write it off as not being historical, or 'real' just consider it. I've had this argument with historical war gamers before. An Imperial Guard Leman Russ MBT will weather the same way a Panther will. 
I've gone over Wayne's great stuff about what he does for weathering. Yes, I did learn some new things I didn't consider before (like the pencil for panels. But I did notice that there were a few things I do not think any one considered, or at least brought up. I might be slow on the uptake here so stick with me.
The last thing I've been afraid of doing is using an airbrush gun to paint fingers, over spray the model..ect. There are some things I do to get around it.
Dry Brushing? I would think that dry brushing would work for wear on leading edges, exhaust marks, oil stains, and softening 'hard' edges.
Instead of Wayne's pencil idea, I've used a tiny brush and hand did the job. Any corrections made would be by going back over the mistakes with a brush and doing touch ups. BTW.. I like his idea better. But depending on what you are doing, you could use different colors depending on what you are outlining.
Any thoughts?
Sorry, I don't have any pics, and would have to dig through the attic to get some out for photo's. I'm not sure they've even survived very well, it's been years.
