mostly using various filters in ps - starting off with clouds, noise and then playing with opacity and blending modes. i also created some dust / dirt in a seperate file using this tut (https://www.teamphotoshop.com/article...t-5,8,45a.html)
and then overlayed it using a lighten blend mode, though i don't think i actually did that on these 2. the models vary as i am still getting used to using photoshop. i only just discovered masks! how sad is that? user added image

Hi,

thanks arran I think I might give it a go on some of the objects on my scene.

RE photoshop, I'm not to comfortable using layers either. Still not entirely sure how to work with them.

cheers

Hi Arran,

sorry I meant to say, I'm not to great using masks. Would be kind of screwed if I couldn't use layers,
