so I’ve started with a base coat of green ochre and highlighted with dark sand before doing an edge highlight on the panels with pure dark sand

Starting the weathering, before anything else I take the base colour, green ochre in this case and add some sponge chipping just to give depth to the weathering. Then using a thinned down dark grey, I’ve used German Grey from Vallejo to add chips where I imagine they would occur with a brush. Letting it wiggle and dance to get random patterns, but take your time and work in small areas otherwise it looks too unrealistic.

Once that is dry I go back to sponge chipping with the dark grey, focusing on areas that would see a lot of wear, like hatches or places that would be used to access them like rails. Then the whole thing gets a satin varnish to seal and protect it and get ready for the next stage pin washes and tints. Which will be coming next
