So I've finally starting to work on models again and I was wanting to add just more ompf. I was wondering it anyone had any tips on how to weather models?

Two things:
Sponging on the paint to create imperfections, excellent technique I learned from FW books. Essentially it's sponge stippling.

Get and learn to use Weathering powders.

The two add up to some stunning results.

We've had a few discussions recently about weathering...

Anything I have to say I'd be repeating myself from what I've already said in those threads.

I've looked at weathering powders but how do you use them?

There's really soooo many ways you can weather a tank, you have to do a little bit of googling and looking around to see exactly how you want YOUR model to look, then aim for that.

EDIT: Another "how to" link...
