This Modelling Tip Of The Day is an ongoing series, in which we’ll be posting a modelling tip that may be of use to the newbie right up to the seasoned modeller. Today’s tip is:

The porosity of plaster will help soak up the thin washes& help create great rock effects.
Using thin washes on buildings etc will help bring out details & add a more realistic natural weathered look. In these videos from Humbrol & Woodland Scenics show how to use weathering washes & Pigments to achieve different weathered effects:
