Those look quite nice. Curious as to what techniques you're doing exactly? (Dry brush, air brush? pastel chalks?)

Dry brush and pastels.
I just keep putting layers on.. take some pictures in different light levels till I see how much I want on each.

I'd like to try airbrushing. Thats actually the best way to get the trucks weathered.

I saw a way of doing oil based and pastel (time consuming) but actually.. IMO looks really freakin good..

I've done dry brushing to the trucks, but that was the extent of it.

I bought an airbrushing kit, but never used it. I figure I will some day.
