Good Day Folks! Hope all has been well! I have been stuck in a rut, I am able to get the build completed, and top coat painted, but I just can't seem to get to the next level - "Weathering". Not sure if I am afraid, or just overwhelmed, and not knowing where to start. I must say, I am truly inspired be the works here, and I appreciate everyone that takes the time to share. Just wanted to share whats on my mind, also wanted to offer an apology for not commenting has much on the inspiring builds. -Steven |

Start simple,perhaps a filter,a wash,some chips,and maybe dust it with some pigments.All those inspiring builds you see had to start somewhere.Practice on something old with just a few techniques,you don't have to do it all initially.

Hey Steven,i'm with you on the weathering.The M109 will be my first project with weathering and it scares the crap out of me.Like Tojo said and i got the same advice,paint up a practice piece the same as you build and try your weathering on it before you do your model.HTH.  |

One bit of advice I would give is that the more you build and paint, the better you will get. Don’t be afraid of the weathering; push your self to keep trying new things on each and every build. Don’t be disappointed if it doesn’t turn out exactly like you wanted, but learn from the experience. Over time you will develop your own skills and learn what works for you and doesn’t work for you.
