Thanks, Neal. And Patrick, welcome to the forum. If you just want to make a fairly realist weathering of the chassis I would suggest you check out the work of MrObsessive and Mr. Cruz, and a few others . . . you just fog a little bit of overspray around the edges of the chassis.

If you want to go all out on weathering, then yes, I would suggest watching a few of the vids from EYEGORE's Gunk University Lecture Series! LOL!

i have a quick-n-dirty "street driven" weathering method: on the chassis plate, i give a quick coat of whatever color primer is appropriate, or satin black, depending, then a dust coat of flat light tan or brown, so it looks overall "dusty"; then a fog coat of the primer or satin black again, to break up the "solid" dust coat of tan. if it's a truck or other "open" chassis, turn it right side up and give it another light dust coat of a lighter tan color, to look like settled sandy dust. it doesn't take much of this step at all to look convincing.

once these coats have dried, drybrush some rust, flat silver, steel, etc... on wear areas and edges. Cranky's tips are excellent as well as many others. there's no really "wrong" way, except to overdo it....

Thanks! I mixed flat interior fabric tan, brown and orange and it looks like mud. Now I just got to figure out how to post pictures without photobucket or one of them.
