With the continuing movement forward with the videos on this build it is time to throw out some better, used very loosely, quality images of the weathering. First up, and each of these will be a kind of summary of what happened. First the initial process was with a gloss coat I used Titanium White, cheaper oil set, to try to get some streaking and a bit of weather staining on the fuselage. I also used Burnt Umber, same set, to try to get some distinct staining on the panels of the engine area. I did not like the way this came out. Anyway the pics.     The process is started anyway. Teaser, a bit of a change in execution is next up. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

Ok for this update let me talk about my methods. First up for me was a drybrush of Testors Flat Aluminium. This concentrated on areas I felt and have seen received excess wear and tear on the paint due to crew use or even weathering. Along those lines I also used my cheap Oil Paint Titanium White with an abused round brush as well as two sizes of flat brush. I put small dots into the centerish of panels and then worked them into the paint. Mind you that this is being done over a flat clear layer. After several passes that encompassed varied panels I came to the decision that one of my more recent investments needed to be used here. Recently I purchased four sets of Abteilung 502 Oil Paints. Beginning with ABT070 Dark Rust I began to play a bit with panel lines. After just a brief attempt I just had the thought that it didnt look right. I used a cotton bud to remove most of it and brought out ABT004 Bitume and began to work around some of the lines. I tried to keep this to where dirt and grime would build up and where the weather would cause streaking. I did this over several sessions. Overall there is several hours of work.     In the next update I will show what at the time I thought was the weathering finished. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |
