Hi all,

want to try some new weathering techniques I read about in Mig's FAQ 2.
How do you guys apply filters to your models?

by brush or by airbrush?

and why?

thanks in advance!

I normally brush it on. Much more control and the weathering comes out better. I've tried both and I find airbrushing just makes everything too 'uniform'.

Always with a flat wide brush, holding the surface to be filtered level and horizontal.
