Honestly, the longer you use a brush for weathering, the better. As it gets crusty and the bristles start pointing in all directions, it'll help the outcome look more random and realistic. I got some cheap ones i was intending to use for cleaning my airbrush till they got old then start using them for weathering, but they're such crap the bristles are coming off in a form of dandruff all over the place.

Also as you mention there's lots of people out there who weather so so much that the model kit becomes horrible to my taste. I like them mainly clean, but with a few "battle scratches" and this is probably the best example I found.

Would it be better to matte top coat and then dry brush silver? I feel like it would give the 'scratching' effects more pop because "bare metal" is usually pretty shiny, and applying a matte top coat on top of silver paint dulls that effect.
@BL922914 жыл бұрын
It's to shiny if you do that, in reel life if you scratch you car paint, you doesn't have a super sunny shiney light grey under. if you flat top coat metal paint, you can always see it's shiny (less than if you dont top coat) and it's real life proof. 😃
