I've come to like oil paints and white spirit. Dab a small dot of black or brown oil paint on the model, then use a separate flat brush loaded with white spirit and drag the paint in a straight line to make a streak. Repeat with the white spirit until the streak is the contrast that you want. For dust I use Velejo pigments with MIG fixative. |

You can't go wrong with the Mig or AK lines. Both are interchangeable. Also invest in the How to paint Wargames tanks book from Mig. Best beginners guide out there. Otherwise go over the entire Heresy Brush site. |

I recommend this guys books rinaldistudiopress.com use oils and u can also use chalk pastels in place of pigments. but pick up either migs books or this guys and they can teach you everything you need to know if you are seriously interested in weathering |

I just give them a dry-brush with Humbrol 72 (Khaki Drill), starting very light on top, getting heavier as I go down the model. The mudguards and sides then get 'splashes and skits' along the bottom edges,as though mud has been splashed up from the wheels/tracks. |
