Weathering with chalk, I could use some tips

[Gil Finn]

I got a nice set of chalk and some dull coat today and practiced weathering a bit.

I found a soft brush is better than a stiff one.

Can you guys pass along some tips?

How do you do it?

Thanks, you all are always helpfull.

No one weather trains?

Yes some members of The Gauge weather trains ( not me ... yet ) but their posts are in the "Weathering" forum in the reference question.
You can use the search engine with "pastels"

Gil, sometimes I use a very stiff brush with the lighter colored powders, I "grind" the powder into the surface of the paint. It helps to give the factory paint a "faded" appearance.
