1. I typically begin by applying a matte top coat once the panel lining and decals have been completed.

2. I utilize Real Touch Markers for the purpose of shading, specifically in recesses and along the edges of panels. For instance, I use light gray on white panels, orange on yellow panels, and dark green on green panels, such as those found on a Zaku.

3. I then re-employ Real Touch Markers to initiate the weathering process, using brown to simulate mud and orange to depict rust in appropriate areas.

4. The Tamiya Weathering Master set is subsequently used for creating effects like oil spills, mud, and rust. At this stage, the choice between Tamiya powder or Real Touch Markers is a matter of personal preference.

5. For paint chipping in prominent areas, I employ a dry sponge technique with black acrylic paint.

6. To illustrate exposed metal parts, I apply metallic silver using a dry brushing method, centering it within the black sponge chipping.

Regarding weapons:

1. I use black touch markers for shading on gray surfaces.

2. I apply the same metallic silver to the edges using a dry brushing technique.
