Armor Weathering with Confidence - Full Seminar at IPMS USA 2023 National Scale Modelling Convention

This presentation was given live, 4th August 2023, at the IPMS USA Nationals in San Marcos, Texas. This discusses my weathering procedure, which I use as a general guideline to achieve confidence that I won't have bad reactions during weathering. Nobody likes ruining their finish!

We also look at the full step-by-step process on two models, to demonstrate that not every step is required on every model, and to show what products I like to use for weathering.

DISCLAIMER: I am not paid to promote any specific products or brands; I just use the products I find work best for me through my experiences. There is no reason for me to promote a bad product, as then I would not enjoy using it, not like the result on my model, and not be proud of publicizing it in a video. There's also no point in me doing this to keep up relations with a company if the only benefit would be getting more of the same products that I didn't like. I have not used every product out there, but from what I have used, I keep using the products I like, and that's why I use them in my videos. You can use whatever other products you would like to and you can feel that they are better - that is your opinion, and is perfectly fine by me, thus I hope that feeling is reciprocated.

great that you post this up for modellers out of the US to benefit from!

I think you have a lot of talent for that sort of thing! Speaking infront of a big crowd isn't easy and your confidence and delivery made this very interesting, entertaining and helpful. I am impressed indeed, excellent work on the models and the presentation! Thank you for putting it on YouTube and hopefully you get the chance to do such seminars more often :)

Mate you are like a regular scale model professor! Lovely content!

[richardklug]

You are a master of your craft. I like the fact that each effect has a reasonable story behind it, instead of it just being "thrown on". Your work has a pleasing subtlety to it...bravo!

Excellent presentation! You have a knack for public speaking, well done. Adding the subtitles is a welcome addition.

My favorite nerd. That is not a disparaging remark BTW. Thanks for allowing me to "be at" the seminar. The Panhard is one of my favorite vehicles.
