Hi I'm new to modeling with tanks and military vehicles, iwas wondering how do u do weathering on a tank with or without a airbrush, and what is the best way to do it by hand or by airbrush i would like to know both methods if i could get some help whenever u have the time.
Z.B.
Study and practice. Just like most other things. Start with Google and YouTube and go from there.
Yup. Youtube has tons of videos on how to do weathering.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

For sure you don't need an airbrush to weather.I use a combination of washes,filters,and pigments to achieve a result.It is a very genersl question but there is a load of written info as well as visual on the subject.
Yeah, sorry, I don't need an air brush for weathering, I was getting carried away.
For weathering I use three techniques. One is a very light coat, a translucent coat, with an airbrush. Second, washes, applied either with a brush or a needle (pin wash). Last, dry brushing.
I just use a small brush for some rust stains, other rust stains with wash or dry brush.

Zach....as stated there are many different ways to add and apply weathering to a model or diorama....as a beginner you will find out by trial and error. I've always been a fan of brushing and slight airbrushing. Find a technique that works for you and you'll have success. My I suggest using a model that you no longer want and practice on it. That is what most of us have done when we started out modelling. Good luck

i will use an airbrush to get a top down slightly lighter paint on upper surfaces, especially desert vehicles. i also use ComArt paints at 10 psi for some dusting and some wet mud effects on tires.
mostly it's oils, weathering powders, pastel chalks sometimes really fine actual mud. one friends mixes a solution of tamita acrylic thinner and lots of pastels so the material flows in all the creases.

All the suggestions given are all excellent. There is no single way of doing weathering that ranges from filters, washes, dry brushing, pigments and even using heat to bend and distort plastic. You Tube and WIP threads are excellent teaching materials.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!

That works really well for mud. makes it stick and hardens. Then like you said, there's the real thing.
