My Weathered E-11 Hyperfirm

[wannab]

I tried to capture the subtle weathering details but I just couldn't get them all to show up.

I started with the raw painted gun then started by spraying flat black, then adding silver, gray, brass and dark rust details using a combination of brush and ragging to apply the paint, then I went back with flat black ragging thick and thin over the detailing again then adding subtle silver and gray areas again then dull coated the whole thing then masked off areas I wanted to keep flat black then shot with gloss coat then lightly scotchbrited the whole thing more in some areas than others to get a weatherd sheen. whew!

The flash on my camera makes some of the silver weathering pop it looks much better in person.
