Weathering, Wear, and Overall Use: Modeling Techniques

[vikingBerserker]

Ok next couple of pages up...

So after reviewing some of the builds you guys are doing and wondering "What-the-(cough)" I have gotten myself into, I decide to google Master Modeling Techniques to pick up some tips and guess where I ended up at.



Hands down the best How-To I found, sign me up for a copy of your book!

Does this weathering just for planes cause I am about to do a German Opel Blitz and would want to weather it?

Any weathering method can apply to any type of model...just check your references!

Thanks Wayne! I want my next model to be somewhat good.

No offense but this thread has little information on how to weather.

Something I read about a while back and thought was interesting was the use of a silver colored artists pencil. So off to the art store and bought a couple of them. Sharpened the tip and used an older junk model to practice on. This poor model has taken quite the abuse as a test subject. Anyway, it works pretty good. With a sharp point it allows some pretty accurate detailing. I wouldn't use it for large areas, but for some spots and areas you don't want to risk using a brush, it's ok.
