I agree that weathering brings it to life.
I also agree that is is a challenge to know when to say when and not over-do it.
This panther was my first real attempt at weathering and chipping.
I found painting all the little chips to be a zen-like meditative experience.
That's excellent. Really comes off as steel. I never get tired of seeing a few pounds of plastic, aluminum and pot metal appear to be 45 tons.
