Weathering M16 MGMC: WIP

This is the first stage of my weathering process, for this i used winsor & newton oil paints (Green, White and Yellow)

Here is the main color for lighting the bonnet and front wings which is green mixed with a bit of white and applied in the oil dot method.   

Here is the oil dot method with green and yellow.

This is the result of the oil dot method using Humbrol thinner, which has the excess taken of the brush with a tissue and then dry brushed over the oil paint.
