The thrusters were sprayed aluminium then rubbed down slightly to give a worn look then lightly sprayed with grey undercoat, once dried rubbed off the masking fluid and rubbed them down slightly again to blend a bit better. I couldn't get the same effect as some others i have seen but i did my best, i'm pretty chuffed with it. The weathering can be rubbed off and i was thinking about changing some of the chips and scratches as i think some don't look quite right, this was done with rattle cans too.
Any hints and tips to improve the look are most welcome.
