With the vehicle fully built up it was time to put a personal stamp on the project. For this first stage of weathering here are the steps I followed:
1. Highlighting raised detail with a fine paintbrush and Buff and Iraqi Sand Vellejo acrylics.
2. Application of a neutral grey toned oil paint pin wash.
3. Flat brush applied dust-coloured enamel filter. This was carefully dragged down vertical surfaces to simulate rain staining.
4. Speckling. Using the same colour palette as the weathering tones on the chassis, mixes of oil paints and pigments were finely speckled over the bodywork to add tiny stain marks.
5. Finely chopped sea grass and dry earth toned pigments were pushed into recesses on the track guards. This was sealed with VMS ballast freeze and once dry any tide lines were masked with VMS matt varnish.
