[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dentrainman Can anyone share their techniques for weathereing plastic buildings ? I have a number of buildings that I'd like to work on and make them look more realistic. Thanks [/quote] Well, Trainnut and others have weathering covered well , but here's a couple more tips: Before applying any washes, pastels, or other, spray entire building with Dullcoat or other flat clear. This gives a good surface for weathering and drybrushing to adhere to, and really minimizes the amount of pastels needed. Also, try Floquil 'Dust' (lacquer) for some really great effects over other weathering. Thin about 50% and airbrush very lightly at first allowing it to set for 20-30 minutes to see the full effect. The dust effect will be dramatic over darker colors, more subdued over light surfaces. Good Luck!! [:p]
