Nice to see these Rob.  I always start with my airbrush (earth and black) and finish with powders.  It's good to see how others tackle this subject - very much in the eye of the beholder I think.

We're told to take our weathering cues from photos.  All well and good when there are colour pictures.  Not so much in the era of B&W.

Thanks John,
These were done so far using varying mixtures of Vallejo game colours Blue Grey, leather and earth brown. I started with Blue grey and leather and then moved on to blue grey and earth.

I don't possess any coloured powders but I have used talc to good effect previously.

Modelling powders can be expensive and I do have several packs.  However, I got two goodly sized bottles of powdered paint pigment - umber and black - from the art store several years ago.  These are not dear.

Hi John,
I will have a look for the powder paint, I recall using it all the time at school. So long ago though…
