Weathering

Weathering

Weathering is a scale modeling technique that involves giving models a realistic appearance by simulating the effects of wear, aging, and exposure to the elements. Instead of a clean, factory-fresh look, the model gains history and depth. With weathering products, you can recreate mud on tank tracks, rust on metal parts, rain streaks on armor, or desert dust on an aircraft's fuselage. It is a crucial stage in model building that makes the miniature look like a real vehicle or object, not just a toy.
