Continuing the panel work, the same method as in step 3 is used to place pigment in all edges and corners, making an absolute mess of everything. Please note that I didn't do this without first testing on something that didn't matter!

 

Once all the pigment has been applied, work begins on modifying the appearance. Clean cotton buds were used for this, but not the type that fall apart as soon as you look at them. The ones I use are intended for use with make-up rather than with small child things. They are more tightly wound and last much better. The method used is rather wasteful in terms of numbers, but the dirty ones can be used again for other weathering tasks.

 

The photographs show the sequence followed, applying more pigment, distributing it to the corners and finishing off:
