Simple Dust and Dried Mud effects - weathering for Tanks, AFV's and Softskins

This video is a segment of some recent work I did edited down to describe the first step of my weathering process on running gear (tracks, wheels etc.). To keep the length of videos down I decided to split my recent filming, so this particular video describes just the simple, initial techniques. These can be used to good effect if you don't want to get too heavy with your weathering, but may be a little simple for some of you veterans.

Please comment and rate if you enjoy !

The next video covers my next steps in the process, which should be followed shortly after by a video on weathering the interior then this model can go in the display case and out of the way !

Cheers

Is the model by dragon? Im thinking of getting one and is it good to build?

[ScaleModelMedic]

@110samec yes this is the dragon M2a1. The kit is a little inaccurate, but not hard to fix. I had a lot of fun adding the extra details and corrections! It is way better than the Tamiya kit... way way better.

You shouldn't have let it get in that state. There are plenty of car washes up and down that you could have used.

Time to figure out where to get pigments... My 40k leman russes just look boring without weathering detail...

[Eldormen]

@ScaleModelMedic

kinda (i support Arsenal), im in Aldridge BTW! Not that far away from Willenhall!

I support Arsenal because my ancestors used to work at the great Woolich Arsenal in London, the football team was formed from workers at the factory (which made munitions), thus that is why i support Arsenal!
