<p>Okay, I think I did a primer on this before, but maybe not here. This is the down and dirty way to weather stuff. It isn't going to make and award winning model, but will help you do a fleet of cars in a hurry.</p><p> </p><p>First paint it like it would have looked fresh from shopping: [img]http://www.catfish-hollow.com/P1010005_04.JPG[/img]</p><p>Next paint in the rust, lime scale, patches, etc. and add decals Use a brighter color than you want it to end up: [img]http://www.catfish-hollow.com/P1010001_08.JPG[/img]</p><p>Mask off whatever you DON'T want weathered....index cards work well for large areas (When there are lots of small window mullions I find it easier to just remove the "glass" and stick the masking tape to the inside): [img]http://www.catfish-hollow.com/P101000211.JPG[/img] </p><p>Overspray with brown (oxide red) primer: [img]http://www.catfish-hollow.com/P10100031.JPG[/img]</p><p>Overspray with grey primer: [img]http://www.catfish-hollow.com/P10100041.JPG[/img] </p><p>Then overspray with black primer followed by a VERY light flat tan (the pics didn't come out, sorry), add final details like water bags, tools, figures and lunch boxes, and you get this: [img]http://www.catfish-hollow.com/P1010.JPG[/img]</p>
