My first go at weathering.

This little Joal Morooka tipper arrived this morning and I set straight to weathering it.

I've not taken any paint off it, just added some liquid dust mixed with some fine dust and some liquid oil.

it's a wet messy site.

Looks great Martin! Love the windscreen mark! I've always wanted to have a go at weathering but I'd probably end up ruining a model!

You can buy weathering kits from good model outlets, the best way to accomplish weathering is to look at a photo of the same type of machine that you intend to weather and see where the muck and soot are? Some black soot on the yellow of the tipper where the exhaust is a good place to start.
Nice try there Martin. :thumbup:
