Karl thanks for the compliment. I first painted the tank in Tamiya panzer Grey. Once it was dry I used Vallejo paint mask and applied it on high traffic areas with a torn up Scotch Brite pad. Once the mask had dried I sprayed the tank with Citadel Skull White paint. After the paint had cured, I removed the mask carefully by rubbing my finger over it. Then weathered the whole project. Overall it had a great effect. I heard you can also use Humbrol Maskol paint mask. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Cheers,

Ryan this has turned out well! Think that you have shown an even 'worn' look, highlighting the lack of quality of whitewash paint... The dio base sits just perfect with his size subject
