Any help would be appreciated. I’ve completed a Normandy Panther and I’m not quite sure how to finish it. It looks good but not “used.”
Any links for 1/72nd dioramas?
Thank you for your time.

Hey armorlunatic,
Are you new to modeling or just new to the FSM forum? I’m certainly no veteran to either the forum or modeling but welcome from me anyway. I think what you need for a “used” look is weathering. Here are some suggestions
- light dusting with chalk or pastels
- drybrushing brings out worn areas (subtle) or patches of chipped paint (not so subtle)
- washes with thin paint or ink for grime
- “misting” the running gear with and airbrush and thin mud color
- or go all out at make a “mud paste” and put it all over (especially tracks and running gear)
