I can't wait to get finished and start weathering. Going to try to keep it subtle.

Looking great so far! I agree with Chris about the wash, and if you feel a bit tentative - and we all get that! - try some flory wash, it's water based, so if you are unhappy with the outcome, it's dead easy to remove. This way, you'll be free to dirty it up, then wipe off with a moistened kitchen towel. "Plenty" is the best to use, as it doesn't disintegrate much even when being rough with it, you will see your model transformed with a bit of grime in the nooks and crannies! But once you've got the "flavour ", you'll soon be splashing oil was on everything! I've not yet had a model that hasn't been vastly improved by a splash of burnt umber in white spirit, and we're basically talking dirty thinners here - do it in layers and watch the magic!
