Some chipping and some highlights added, and a layer of MIG African Earth pigment.
Now what? Do I add more dust and dirt? Put a layer of shade on the pigment, since the red earth is more sub-Saharan than North Africa? Put a layer of matte varnish over it, call it good and move on?
Thomas: Do NOT mix pigment and matte varnish. I sprayed Testors Dullcote matt vanish on top of my ISU 122s w Vallejo pigment and the bloody varnish queered the pigment and turned it all white. Do one or the other, not both.
That is scary! I use Vallejo Matte Varnish brushed on and have never had a problem with pigment, but I have a can of Testors on the shelf. I shall have to test this as I was saving the Testors up for use on a vehicle. Good thing it's too cold to spray outside or I could have had this problem before you had time to tell me!
I was thinking a matte varnish for protection, as it is the pigment is held in place by the liquid pigment medium only and if we're going to use this for a Con game, the unwashed masses will be touching my lovely truck!
Attention to detail on this is insane! Terrific work.
SvaraRaderaThank you! I try my best.

RaderaForgot to say, chipping and weathering looks fabulous. I wouldn't do anything else to that model except show it off.
SvaraRaderaLeave it as it is. Looks great!
SvaraRaderaRight, off to the Milicast website, then!
RaderaNow we're talking! Looks good as it is, don't think you need any varnish!
