I'm starting to do a few vehicles, and I need some tips on how to do smudges close to tracks and exhaust residue like here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Warhammer-40k-Blood-Angels-Baal-Predator-1-PAINTED-/150676160416?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2314ffbfa0

How do you get the smudges just above the tracks and smoke residue next to the vents on the sides?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404126/3448892.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404126/3448892.page GMT
I do not know your familiarity with these kinds of techniques or using weathering powders, but Forge World does have a kind of "Dummy's Guide" to using them which can be found here.

Their powders are not the highest quality ones on the market, but they definitely are not slouches either. If you're just starting out trying these techniques, I'd suggest using them before moving onto the other ones.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404126/3448905.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404126/3448905.page GMT
Any other ways of getting the same effect through conventional paint?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404126/3448949.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404126/3448949.page GMT
The best way that comes to mind is using washes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404126/3448999.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404126/3448999.page GMT

weathering powders are great for smaller areas, but when dealing with large flat areas like a vehicle, you loose some of the ability to control the application and the effect.
