This site is a pretty good guide;

http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=220&page=1

Its for 1/35 scale, but can be scaled up easily.

Cheers,

pea cutter for grooves and panel lines then a pyrogravure for weld seams and torch marks, or you can roll milliput into long thin strands put it where you need it and texture with a scalpel blade.........
