Weathering, Wear, and Overall Use: Modeling Techniques

[Matt308]

This sticky is intended to document modeling techniques for proper application of ageing, wear, weathering, war damage, and other unique appliques.

This sticky should include as many pics as possible of the use of pastels, dry brushing, overcoats, Dremel modifications, parts kits, etchings and other techniques.

Any and all recommendations are encouraged, but pictures are most important.

And the use of pastels. That has always intrigued me Wayne. Colors, sealants, appliques, and final matt cotes. Would love to see that detailed in a step by step fashion.
