Weathering

Posted by Paul On May - 18 - 2009

I have just started using these Tamiya weathering sets. They work nicely and come in a variety of colors and shades. At the top of the pic are a pencil lead that are good to give a metallic shine and also 3 kinds of chalk sticks that work well when scraped into a powder and applied with a brush dipped in water or Future floor polish. At the top are several tubes of oil paints that are great for weathering.

Here is a pic of some of the oils that I use for weathering – I just dilute them with thinner and apply with a brush:

There are many methods to apply weathering and different stuff to use – all of the modeling forums discuss weathering and new ideas on how to do it.
