Model Weathering and Finishing Techniques

This area of the Techniques Bank, Model Weathering and Finishing Techniques, will help you to add character, realism and artistic influence to your painted model. The result will be less like a replica toy and more of a scale representation of the original subject which incorporates artistic features to make it visually compelling. Additionally, the presentational aspects of your finished model will be addressed looking at the design and construction of decorative bases and dioramas.
