I'm no good in weathering imho.
At least I'm spending lot's of time to receive in the end what I personaly consider quite an avarage result, while lots of boys around seem to obtain some mind blowing weathering on there models, and that is in a pair of evenings!
Have been working on developing this branch of my skills for a while now.
Like Igard I went with construction. There's always one or two things in a build that, no matter how small, drive me nuts in the construction phase. Alignment, fit, seams.....all need magic and gold in your hands to make them look great.
Weathering.... Precisely why I have not started an an OEF/OIF F-14B/D yet... I feel that in order for it to look right the weathering has to be spot on.And that is something that I need some practice at.
Since ! haven't built any models in years all the above. I just want to have some nice looking aircraft models in my computer room that don't look toy like.
Weathering is my area in which I need improvment. I either apply to much or to little. I am working on finding that happy medium. Another area I would like to improve my skillset is PE. Other modelers make it look so easy applying small details. Those tiny tiny details for me are difficult to bend and glue to the model. My BSC entry Leopard 2A6 is a challenge because I am replacing grab handles, brackets, and adding chains to the smoke discharge tubes. All these PE details for me are tough to glue and place with tweezers.
