I thought I thinned it down to much. It didn’t break down or bleed when I gave it a coat of lacquer clear. Still need to dirty the hands n back pack, paint the mono eye.

After the touch ups I’ll try these out. Still annoyed about the feet and went to start another build but also really want to try the Mr Weathering products

You have to weather up the base that it's standing on, Put some black wash's.

First of my days off. I had a quick 5 minute play with the Ammo by Mig products before I washed the car. Will update properly when I finish all the “streaking”

Streaking grime for DAK which I figured out is for light coloured stuff. Didn’t turn out great here but you can see it under the knee. Kinda blends with the grey wash from earlier steps.

Mr Weathering stain brown. Much better colour and I think it worked well. Probably need to repeat this on the legs.

Just need to finish dry brushing the backpack, repeat Mr Weathering on legs and paint the mono eye. Looking forward to finishing this one

This one is 99% there. Just waiting on some white glue to dry atm and then add some drops of engine grime and it’s complete. crossed I can get to it and have it finished by Tuesday

Look's like some surface rust on it in places.

In the Amine I think they are made of a titanium alloy so I used ground brown. I thought if they don’t rust they will still stain. For a first shot with new products, I can see myself using them a lot in the future.
