I'm not surprised though,i've seen your handy work on more than one occasion now and this is no different.
What technique's have you been using to dirty this bird up?

Hey buddy!

I think we covered "most of em" with this one?

Paint:
Lacquer
Enamel
Acrylic

Washes:
"Sludge", Acrylic color with dishsoap and lotsa water to thin.
Oil paint, thinned with turpenoid.
Ink, thinned with alcohol.

Chipping:
Pre masked with the old OOP original BareMetal brand adhesive foil- It tears nicely and gives more in scale results.
Or, Base color in lacquer oversprayed with enamel then pulled up with sticky tape.

And some selected drybrushing.

But of course strived to keep "layers" where they belong. For instance- don't achieve chipping by topcoating with primer and silver. Instead, paint them first and then get back down to them so paint is actually thinner/lower, in those areas.

And of course, pastels.

Hopin to wrap this one up tonite!

Not saying tha'll be a first,but it'll be one of only a few of these awesome build's that ya started that i can think of!
You got a bench covered in awesome build's that have all had some Duck treatment done on em and hopefully we'll see some more of them soon?
Look forward to the outcome on this one though Don!
Also your run down there was just excellent,some good lil pointers in there mate and it show's in your work.
Hope to see that finished piece soon!
