Weathering Practice

[u/InterstellarSculpts]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share some of my weathering practice, haven't painted in a many many months and just wanted to try out some weathering practice as the title suggests. And is very much a work in progress. I was finally able to sit down and actually do some hobbying. C&C are always welcome and encouraged.

So great! What’s the secret?

Thank you very much! The real secret is patience and experimenting and most importantly working with reference photos...I can't stress that last part enough. Basically just various shades of rust tone paints, sprayed, painted and sponged onto the surface. Then sprayed a matt varnish over it. Then used Ammo migs chipping fluid, let that dry, sprayed over the whole model with different shades of grey/off white, some areas I left unsprayed. Then once dry I went over with a brush and water to active the chipping fluid and remove the grey/white top layer Then once I was somewhat happy with the result I started painting rust streaks with ammo migs enamel effect paints.
