Back for the second part on how to turn plastic into pure weathered gold! Seriously, this is the fun bit, wear, tear and mud.

Step 8: Basic Weathering using a streaking grime.

Step 9: Mud! - it really makes all the difference. The trick is to learn how to spatter a brush over a cocktail stick and actually hit your model in the right place.

Step 10: Metal areas - how to make them look really real.

Step 11: Pigment Splashes - we're on to the final weathering stages. This is similar to the mud but with liquid pigments to add a different texture.

Step 12: Pigment Mud - the final step - hurrah!
