Great article it shed some light on the oil base weathering, I do much the same thing
except in the water base paints and artist grade water colors, I dont get the same
effect over all.Maybe I'll try the oils the next time I'll wait on your next series with
baited breath.

Nice article Mike! Very informative and the Panzer is looks great too.
I am not very fond of doing a wash but your article explained it very well.
Have you ever tried to simulate shadows with a dark basecoat? I have been doing that for quite sometime with great success.
