Stuart Hi Stuart the weathering is done using an oil wash of Burnt Sienna thinned with white spirit same as all my builds I keep old cleaned out paint pots and half fill with white spirit I then add the oil paint usually a brush full and mix until thinned out in the pot i keep various colours at hand to use together I also used Raw Umber to darken the drain holes in the same way I also use a old hair dryer to help speed up the drying remember to build it up in layers if you use this method little is more as they say I will try and do a better example of the weathering when I get a bit of time on Friday Cheers for asking beefy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
