My primary weathering uses a base coat of Dull-Cote followed by dilute washes of solvent based paints, dilute acrylics, dilute india ink. I only use pastels (chalk) on cars that will seldom leave the layout because I do not use a setting agent. To touch un-set pastel is to remove it or, worse, leave fingerprints. I do not really like pastels because I have never had much luck with them. True, the multiple layer approach does work with pastels, but it is hard for me to get the results I seek. The great thing with this hobby is that we all get to do it our way, and then broaden our abilities as we do it over. <br /> <br />Tom
