So, I decided I needed to push my painting abilities in order to do my DFG Leviathan proud when I paint it up finally. I really want a good paintjob on it, and needed to expand on my painting techniques after seeing what was possible on Youtube.
I picked up some new tools for my arsenal in the form of AK Interactive Worn Effects, Streaking Grime enamel set, and Chipping Color Acrylic paint.
I have wanted to try my hand at either the Salt or Hairspray chipping styles, but the Worn Effects fluid seems much easier to use. You just spray it on over your undercoat, and then wet down your overcoat and chip away with a flat brush or toothpick to produce chips and scratches in the paintwork.

I started on one of the Ma.K Melusine model I intend to use for SoTR1949 and Tomorrows War. This is WIP, and still needs a gloss coat, then enamel washing, and weathering powders before finally basing.
Here's one shot:

So, I managed to get the AK interactive enamels done for the most part. I just need to do panel lining with a black/brown oil paint step, then weathering pigments and the base.
I think the chipping, rust, and grime came out well for my first time trying it out.

This looks real good mate ! I am looking for some inspiration for weathering on my ork killa kanz , this just might be it !!!
