Just as title says. I've been trying to figure out how to make whitewash and here's my first attempt. I'm going to try with Vallejo acrylics on the next one as I don't think this one is that realistic.

Any comments please feel free to post. Thanks

Donīt know much about how realistic that might be, but I like it. It looks good for my artistīs eye.

Couldnīt do any better myself.

What/ You don't like that? I think it looks great!
Can you explain in detail how you did it?

Did you use the stick weathering master or the 3 section powder weathering master? I used the stick once and it was horrible, like a chalky paint pen sorta. However the powder weathering masters have worked great for me in the past and am thinking about getting the winter set. I think it looks great and a step-by-step would be terrific.

Thanks for the comments. I think this looks cool, but it's not quite the effect I want to go for. I used the snow in set B using the sponge side of the brush, carefully building it up.

I'm STILL not convinced by these weathering products, but I have to say that you've made a very convincing-looking model - thanks for posting it!

I think it doesn't look bad at all!
Is it that little box with white, brown and black?
The black/soot looks quite good used near exhausts and such. The brown/rust isn't that good and the white I never used befor.
Looking at this I think I will give it a try.
Please tell us how you did this!

I'll admit that this form of whitewash is more of an artistic aproach- but it looks cool!
