goetzi73 Posted June 9, 2017 #2 Posted June 9, 2017 Just came to this post. Not to late I hope. I have used the Vallejo set and the Ak weathering set on buildings for my sons model railway. It needs a little practice. An airbrush is recommended. There is also a small book by Ak about wood weathering.

It emphasises on AFV Modelling, but the techniques can be used on plastic - or even wood- of ship models as well.

I like to use the airbrush, because one will get a very thin and even surface. Especially when you are priming the surface. I think using a brush is possible. It's only my personal experience. When you paint on all the small details and for blending you have to use a brush. Here's an example were I used only the washes on plastic, primed with matt varnish: Ben752, Canute and thibaultron 3 Current build: Hanseatic ship 1:50 https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/16089-hanseatic-ship-c-1500-by-goetzi73-150-first-scratch-build/ Completed builds: Nina (Amati), HM Cutter Sherbourne (Caldercraft).
