The wire mesh was added late in the war. It detonates panzerfaust and similar weapons inches from the main armor. This also serves well to stick camo in.

So how do you drybrush stuff you give it a weathered look?

You will need to have your main body color in 3 shades; dark, medium (the overall color you want) and a lighter shade.
3 step process.
For DESERT tanks = brownish, then sand, then bone white.
For Olives = deep greenish brown, then olive, then a khaki & olive mixture.
For Panzer grey = Black, then dark grey (with slight bluish tint), then medium grey.
A…1 wet coat, all-over, dark shade.
B… Damp-brushing: Medium (intended) color .
Only apply a very tiny bit of paint to the brush. Rub the brush on a paper towel a couple times. The brush will have a “sticky” feel to it. This is the part that takes practice. You use a rapid back and forth movement of the brush, and in all different directions. You go over the entire vehicle, until the dark coat only appears in the edges, low spots, etc.
C… Drybrushing:
Now use lightest shade. Just like you applied dampbrushing, except that you wipe the brush off VERY thouroughly on the paper towel, until it seems as if thier is NO paint left on the brush. Now go over a small section of the tank, with light pressure and rapid “feather-duster” strokes. Get a tiny bit more paint back on the brush, wipe very thoroughly, etc. It will seem as if thier is no paint at all on the brush, but as you work over areas, tiny little edges and details start to appear. Move onto a different area as these details start popping out. Dont overdo this part.
CAMO:
Now you have to cover up some of that nice paint job with some glaring camo markings. Use a darker tone first, and paint your camo lines on. Then drag a few dry-brush strokes of lighter color over them. If you make wider spots/lines, you will have an easier time dry-brushing over them. If you make thinner lines, you will have to carefully drag a tiny drybrush over them repeatedly to drybrush them. -
Im gonna try it and see if i can do it. Normally Id just pay to have it done, but id like to just see what it takes. Ill take this info and apply it and see how it goes.
