Hi Gang,
As many of you know I am helping Chris Lee and his full scale Millennium Falcon build. I've nearly finished both the cockpit console and one of the exterior quad lasers.

For fun I'm going to paint the Quad and the new MF styled base and would like to achieve a "realistic" weathered effect to include dents, scratches, drips, oil streaks, etc. but I've never weathered anything this scale before. I'm not sure whether to use oil based can or spray paint with thinner/mineral spirits as a wash... etc????
QUESTION: Does anybody have any ideas/guidance on how to achieve a realistic weathered look on such a large scale?
Thanks!
