When I applied it just on bolts and doors, it was just too artificial and when I decided to wash the whole part, it simply didnt went down and made rather complex dark red layer...which is something I wanted to do with Typhus Corrosion and just on lower edges.

I can imagine such hard weathering but not for my primal regiment, this seems rather like sandstorm with oil rains

Dont you have any ideas what to do? I certainly want to do some color weathering (and then some scratches and dents), but this seems to me too much. And Im not sure if making wash even thinner is right way. Thanks for help

I am no expert on desert colors but in general I find that stippling and drybrushing works better for weathering than washing.


The sponge technique is widely used by AFV modellers. You wash the panel and sponge off the wide areas, leaving the bolts and panel edges with darker weathering.

Try using cotton buds to remove the excess wash from the wide areas of panel.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582650/6592658.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582650/6592658.page GMT Re:Problem with vehicle desert weathering ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582650/6592659.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582650/6592659.page GMT Problem with vehicle desert weathering IDK - looks like some of the vehicles I saw in the sandbox, especially after a sand storm.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582650/6593601.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582650/6593601.page GMT Problem with vehicle desert weathering
Otherwise I think the better option is using oil paints for weathering, as they give you more time to work and you can blend them in better. So with an acrylic you might do several thin washes to build up an effect, with an oil you apply an excess, and then as you remove the excess you blend it in to the surrounding area.

EDIT: Also Google "desert vehicle weathering" to get some tips.

Here is a model that is more subtly weathered....

And something more aggressively weathered....

Layer and layer and layer and layer. I did it for the competition a few years ago.

I have had great success doing a base of Typhus Corrosion on joints, seems etc and then use the sponge technique to apply a watered down sand pigment.

The thing I haven't been liking about Typhus is that it seems too opaque. I bought a bottle over the weekend and have been playing around with it, and I wish I could build it up more to give a more subtle effect building up to a heavy effect right in the crevice or around the tracks where dirt would build up. I tried thinning it down and it sort of lost it's texture and became more like a regular wash.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582650/6596660.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582650/6596660.page GMT
