irst of all I want say “welcome to our second issue of “The Weathering Magazine” and before you say

it, no we haven’t picked Dust for our second issue, just because because it rhymed with the first issue -

Rust…Well I don’t think it was deliberate, or was it?. Realistic dust and dirt effects are a hugely important

part of the weathering process in many forms of modelling, as they help to convey the kind of conditions and

environment that these machines are operated in. Dust and dirt get everywhere just take a look at how quickly

the average car gets dirty even if it’s just sat on the driveway for a short while. Now when we compare this to

military vehicles, construction machinery or even railway locomotives and rolling stock it is obvious just how

much dust and dirt these items attract in their day-to-day use.

I spent a long-time serving in the British, Royal Air Force and spent my fair share of time based in hot and dusty

countries around the World and I’ve experienced first hand the effects of dust on all manner of vehicles, both

military and civilian, this even includes aircraft that while they are on the ground still attract dust. Apart from

modelling my other passion in life has been racing Motocross bikes, which are also great generators of dust

and dirt, so suffice to say I have inadvertently spent a lot of time in the company of dust and somewhere in my

subconscious it has been a form of weathering I have strived to perfect on my models, from the way it settles

on horizontal surfaces and how differently it adheres to matt or gloss finishes. The movement of a vehicle and

its crew over it, all have an affect. Even water, fuel, oils and greases have an affect and help create distinctive

effects and tones in dust that as modellers we can replicate in miniature, thanks to the amount of helpful pro-

ducts and techniques we have at our disposal nowadays.

In this issue we will show how this dust and dirt in many varied forms can be applied to an equally varied range

of modelling subjects, from aircraft to armour and railways to sci-fi and no, this doesn’t include a guide to re-

plicating the other kind of dust. You know, the real kind that just loves to settle on our models when they are

sitting on a shelf! You will see whilst working your way through this edition, the process for adding dust and dirt

effects to a model is a lot more involved than just sprinkling on some pigments and spreading it around a little.

We will in fact be using a wide range of materials and methods including oil, enamel and acrylic paints, pig-

ments, washes and even real dirt to create the final results. Hopefully in this issue you will discover new finishes

and techniques that will prove informative and even be the inspiration to try something new or even experiment

with a combination of the methods we have showcased. I for one have found it fascinating whilst editing this

issue, to see just how each of our contributors has used different products and completely different techniques

to achieve their final and ultra realistic results on their models.

As for the fact that Mig and the rest of the production team deciding that

Akatsiya should be the pin-up for the Weathering Magazine rather

than me has been very hurtful and has shattered my con-

fidence, but thankfully the therapy is going well.

I just wish I hadn’t bothered getting my

bikini line waxed in preparation

for the photo shoot!
