Default painting techniques?

just wondering if anyone could do a write up on painting techniques? i mainly use brushes to paint as i do not have acess to a air brush. if anyone out there has any tips for washing, painting, rusting, weathering, etc please list them here. i think this could be a good thread for new guys aswell as myself for getting better results with paint!

Some of the weather advice our club has liked.

The Boys at DAK (Desert Armor Korps) have created some great guides. If I remember correctly you can do a lot of the weathering without an airbrush.

Pigments are a life saver...like bringing the great outdoors inside and onto your tank.

And Mig Jiminez's book on AFV painting is probably impossible to beat.

IF you can still get it.
