Just thought I'd pass on that I've been experimenting with the PollyScale weathering colors, specifically Grimy Black. When sprayed into the corners and darker areas of vehicles and whatnot it dries to a pleasing shadowy effect. When I splotched it on lightly in small circles on the rear deck of a Panzer IV F2 I'm building it gave a nice subtle grease effect. It dries a slightly different color and tone than it looks like when it first comes out of the airbrush, so let it dry completely when deciding how you are going to use it. I should also mention that it is more of a grey than a black, which has a very pleasing scale effect on 1:72 models, particularly when viewed from over 3 feet away.

I hadn't seen any reports on this color before, so I thought I'd share my experience.

It is great paint I use it for tools both it and Floquil Grimy black

Pollyscale mud....Have you experimented with that too?

Those PollyScale paints are great.

I use grimy black for rubber roadwheels and tracks, because it's not quite black.

The Mud and Dirt colors are great for weathering, and I used Mud as the basecoat for various figures (US overalls etc) and as a close approximation to DAK yellow.

So.... does anyone have some photos to share with us? Please!

well if you look at my Panzer III I used it on the road wheelshttp://community.webshots.com/album/96563989YEWGRb

I’ve been playing around with Floquil Grimy Black and Rail Brown, too. Mixing 10-15% Rail Brown in with standard Military Brown, Sandgelb, Field Drab, etc. gives some interesting shades and highlights. I am in the process of acquiring a Digital Camera, so I will try to post some projects where I used this as soon as I get my hands on it, and figure out how to use it.

Cheers,
