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 acrylics.
2. Application of a neutral grey toned oil pin wash.
3. Flat brush applied dust-coloured enamel filter. This was carefully dragged down vertical surfaces to simulating rain staining.
4. Speckling. Using the same colour palette as the weathering tones on the chassis, mixes of oils and pigments were fine speckled over the bodywork to add tiny stain marks.
5. Finely chopped sea grass and dry earth toned pigments pushed into recesses on the track guards. This was sealed with VMS ballast freeze and any tide lines masked with VMS matt varnish.
