First coat of paint   For some reason the burgandy paint I used looks more red in the pictures. I could only find gloss burgandy, so I'm planing on dulling it some after the final coat. |

I had the same problem with my burgundy. It came out really red in photos. But once you put some dark weathering on it, it'll darken up REAL quickly. Looking good so far.

The Capt is the master at weathering but lay down coat of testors dull coat first then (after dry) wash on some watered down acrylic black paint or ink. Weather on from there with pastels, paint, airbrush grey misting coat, ect.... The Capt can cover it form here, his weathering is really nice |
