Stian!
Excellent work! Your modulation gives the paint completely different depth and color.

Thanks guys .

So I continue With some 'how to' , ore atleast, how I do .

So in my eager to get going on chips and scratches and eventually some weathering , I totally forgot one of the first steps I usually do... Wash. And also sometimes even a more fun part , oil dot fading ..
Might have been the heat ( +30c here now ) ore lack of norwegian milk chocco ( supply is running low) ore a massive brain fart :silent:

anyway, all can be hidden under a massive layer of durt and dust :D

A little speckling . First a lighter tone of main color . mixed 50/50 paint / thinner and slowly add small splashes . Do same with rust, and after add and build up layers of 'speckling of varoius dirt tones

Love the rusty scratch on that fender!
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)
