well, i did the weathering this week, and i after the paint had dried, i coat it with Future and then airbrush with the basic color lighted and heavily thinned, here are some pics.
After that I will do the first oil wash.
Once that is complete, i do the 2nd oil wash on the suspension in a darker color and airbrush too.
once that is done, i will dry brush certain raised surfaces. once that is complete, i dullcote the tank.
that is about as much weathering as i do, not too complicated, but i like the results. The stars were simply masked and painted on, i will add another light coat of dullcote and it will be pretty much finished, i have to still mount the emitter on the barrel and i plan to have that completed tomorrow. And she will be ready for this coming weekend. I will eventually get the .50 cal and stowage items done, but i figure i have all winter to get that done.
