Update time.
Received my new magazine from Gaz, primed, painted and weathered.
This is all new to me but it's a very intuitive thing to do. When weathering it was a case of thinking where scratches and wearing would occur.
I used a dry brush technique having first primed, black hammerite and flat blacked the parts, used acrylics for the weathering and fine detailing.
Just waiting for my rail and D ring to arrive before I can move on but quite pleased with results so far.
