Weathering
- Mr. Weathering Multi Black - generous layer over entire model
- Wait several minutes to dry - batching painting 5 models, allows you to go back to the first by the time you've completed the 5th
- Using make-up sponge, lightly clean the model to taste - I attempt to roughly follow my zenithal pattern, leaving the darkest areas the least clean
- Use Mr.Weathering Solvent on the sponge, pick out sections for highest highlight / areas of focus like the faces & weapons
