Have a look in the features section here on Armorama- there should be more than enough info to get you started.

well, there aren`t any difficulties actually
it`s better a painter not to afraid of audacious strokes
I usually do it by oil or acrillic paints.
some variants here
1 washing
2 stokes with wet brush (soot, dust, rust etc.)
3 dry brush
Good luck

you should try MIG pigment powders, they make weathering really easy.
and also tamiya has some good weathering products like a little kit with three different colours like
"sand, light sand, mud". and they also have a 'weathering stick', i find that its not very good though.
sorry if that didnt make sense
