- I really like your weathering technique! Could you give us a few pointers on how you do it? Some kind of "white wash" it looks like? And you also have nice black grime on the cab..how did you do that?
TBug and Scotty (et al.) Thanks for the kind words. If you click on my name below, the link will take you to my 4LargeScale.com page. Then, if you go to the How To drop-down menu above and select Weathering..., you'll see a step-by-step description of my weathering process. The hardest part
of weathering is always the first step. Don't be afraid to mess up that
beautiful pristine paint job. Almost everything I describe in the above link can
be undone or reversed. The black dye washes off easily and you can
usually re-dry-brush with the original color to take it back to your
starting place. It's easy to go overboard - so remember: subtlety is
the key to realistic weathering. I've "taken a mulligan" many a time
and found that subtle effect I was looking for after doing so.
With that, if you still have any specific questions, I'll be glad to try to answer them for you.
