Thank you Makkor, I’m a novice myself, but how I approached the finish of the ship.

1. Spray painted the ship flat black and (all the small items before assembling)

2. Sanded away the black paint enough to create the weathered and worn look
Less sanding in some areas and more in heavy foot traffic area.

3. I used mostly pigment pastels for the rust, corrosion and patina looks

4. In some spots I used tiny brush and paint

Pigment pastels, great idea.
Thank you very much
