The hardest part with wethering process is how much not to put on instead of how much to put on~ ^ ^ The golden rule of thumb that I was given long~ time ago was when you think it needs some more touch up it's actually way more than it should have... Another advise I picked up was between each weathering process take a break - half or even better a full day. And then you can go back and look at your model with non-objective eye. Sometime in the heat of moment you can overlooked things/faults otherwise would be quite obvious... Finally yes we are dealing with Sci-Fi model but that dosen't mean we cannot use the real life reference materials. What ikar01 suggested above is true and the reference material will come in handy.
people living in glass colonies shouldn't throw nuclear stones.
