Ok, so I'm working on a republic star destroyer, and spent time today on the engine parts. Days earlier I laid down a doat of Tamiya Silver Leaf from a rattle can (which I love!), and today I put down some 'Burnt Blue' from the Tamiya Weathering Master. It's my first time using the stuff over a metallic coat, and I'm pleased with the results. Sorry I con't include a photo, kinda going for the motorcycle exhaust pipe look. My ex-wife used to say it looked like makeup, but I think the stuff rocks.
One other thing I did was the underside of a Hawker Hurricane with some 'burnt black'. I masked the edge of a panel and streaked it back, matching the direction of airflow. Pull off the tape and voila, delicious oil leak.
Now share your story............

I love the stuff. I used it to dirty up my MiG-21:

I laid down a few random spots while it was still coated with Future; I then smudged it around with a paintbrush slightly damp with mineral spirits. Clear flat sealed and blended everything.
