Now the filter bit I just used about 10% Tamiya brown to water and used a large soft brush to apply it all over, this will help tone down the paint, there are lots of other methods too, I like this one as it gives a great matt/ dusty effect, the I high light panel good edges of panels/ components with dark colours and an airbrush looking on you tube that's a good place for weathering/ painting tips and on this forum, your best bet is just having a practice on some thing to see how it works for you, and I highly recommend an airbrush there alot easier to use than you think and get great results with them. Anyway I hope this waffle helps, do you think a step by step guide would help people? I did think of doing one but thought everyone would just chime in and go ' no do it this way' or ' try this' people are very critical when it comes to arty stuff like painting!
