what do i know about it,  literally zip, but i do know that the models when new are cool and shiny and all that. but for realism if that is what is desired a person has to figure out how to weather.  I found this stuff at a hobby store and darn!! IT WORKS, I am probably the least knowledgeable person here on weathering techniques.  I was scared to death to try to do something for fear would destroy the item but then i found this stuff

 

I got three different sets and man do they work,  Tamiya weathering master  i googled that  and got a wealth of information about all of the products they make,  darn they work also

i dont know about the rules of the board on putting stuff out like this, but wth we talk about Lionel, MTH Atlas, so forth so why not Tamiya 

ps instructions in gangi and english

Not recommended.

I do diesels and cars at an affordable flat rate.

beautiful work,  yes the stuff i got is limited and my first thoughts were "Heck that is makeup"

but then i started playing with it, and i antiqued a old tractor, then i rusted a tin roof and it came out great, I found that spraying it with clear flat lacquer aided the process, since it is dry and it can wipe off, the spray settles it in and flattens it out, made the tin roof on my tobacco barn look 80years old and the cost was ten bucks and i did it myself on my own bench in my own family room and did not have to send anything out

now i used this stuff on the roof and the tractor only did the barn free hand with acrylic paint, also cheap and sprayed the same settling lacquer on it also.

next project is a flat car with a Sherman tank on it (relive a childhood experience so to say)

but i like it

and i recommend it

put this photo out before but it is all i have done, tomorrow will post the flat car, rust and oil stains and all

Ever thought of using black sealant to look like gobs of dripping black grease??  been thinking of that, like permatec or black silicone.  Put some on a pallet and use a tooth pick to dob it on wheels?  yes/no/super stupid/are you nuts??
