Weathering a tank in 7 steps

[cib2265]

I've put together a short video on my process on how to build/weather armour, using my 1/48 AFV Club Tiger 1 that I finished recently. Tell me what you think, should help those of you like me who've been struggling more on the "when should I do this" part of weathering tanks! Cheers

Nice video, thanks for recording that. I had two questions though. How do you polish the matt paint surface to apply decals and if you have a matt surface how does your pin wash flow? Interested as I'd like to reduce steps if I can find alternatives.

Hi Steve, I use micromesh to polish the matt surface for the decals, I usually spray quite thin so the paint is smooth most of the time.

As for the pin wash, im very careful not to let the wash spill out of the panel lines - I use a No.1 or No. 0 paintbrush to apply the wash.

Thanks. I may try that out
