The weathering began by applying a dot filter of primary colors consisting of Sea Blue, Yellow, Red, and White.

The dots are then blended together using a thinner-dampened brush to the point where they are virtually removed, leaving behind an altered base coat in the process. I worked slowly, section by section, and completed about half last night and the rest this morning. I also went along while working the same sections and applied a Burnt Umber pin wash to accentuate the detail and further provide depth. The lightened Panzer Gray mix from the previous painting process was lightly dry brushed over the raised detail. The whole vehicle then received a coat of Testor's Lusterless flat in the spray can.

Next came the weathering on the suspension, I tried something a little different this time around from my usual methods. Instead of applying the pigments wet, I applied them dry and used a stiff bristled brush to work them into the various areas. It's certainly a faster result but I think I'll go back to the wet method for future use.

To finish up, I dry brushed some original Panzer Gray on some of the areas of the turret and hull that I felt needed a little more blending and then it was off to the photo booth for the finished pics.
