How to paint Gundam Marker Vol 03: Realistic finish with weathering marker

Step 3 -Realistic finish with weathering marker

Machines always used have dirt or soot on them, or their painting starts to peel.
So reproducing this kind of realistic damage, you can get a more lively finish on your model.
Try to observe actual aircraft or vehicles and study what sort of stains they have.
However, you should not make your model too dirty.
Don’t go over the top with weathering your model, do it in moderation.
