I finished putting on the basecoat on the Panther I'm working on and now I'm ready to start the wash, dry brushing, etc.
Should I put the dullcoat on before the weathering steps or after everything is done?

Pretty soon I won't have to ask you guys these newb questions anymore

My method is to Dull Cote in the closing steps of the miniature. It wraps everything up and evens out the different mediums - oils, drybrushing, gloss underneath and on top of decals, etc. The overall Dull Cote is near the last thing you want to do to your model.
