Thanks Kevin, I love making up possible wartime scenarios with captured vehicles,
the weathering is just icing on the cake

Well, I should be more sucsinct, manic washing and dry brushing (wrinse and repeat) layers are the key and
and to me anyway, there are no set rules, just keep futzin with it, take a break here and there
some times for days or weeks, who knows,
Then one day it hits you.....Done!

I agree that multiple layers are the way to go. If I think I over did it with weathering, I'll go over that with a wash or a drybrush of the original color, then weather on top of that if needed.
As Bob Ross use to say, there are no mistakes, just " happy accidents".

It seems you have the idea, practice makes...well, kinda perfect. Just keep at it and it will develope on it's own,
you will learn from your happy accidents and not repeat them. After a while your 'style' will be recognizable.
This site is a "tough room" as many stand up comics would say, so thanks for the conversation.
