Im look specificaly for light battle damage tips (like chipped paint and blast damage)
anyone got any good techniques?

thanks

Okay, as for chipping, a good plan is to use a dark non metallic colour first, and then paint inside of this with your chosen metallic colour. I usually use Scorched brown, since I find black to be too dark. Then chainmail for the scratch or chipping itself, and then badab black over this, to give definition.

I´ve used this technique on these two models. Mind you, the walker is not finished yet, still needs some more weathering and funny stuff.






For more tips, I´d recommend Grey Death´s excellent article here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Tank_Weathering

Although there are some variations to the techniques he mentions, these will give you excellent results.

Hope that helps.

I'd like to recommend Gundam Mecha's WW2 blogs the one on the T34 and the one on the KV1 he has some good ideas and advice about weathering.

thanks guys been a big help!!
