Only a blue filter and a dark grey wash applied. The antiskid pads were painted with a dark grey wash enamel. Building it up in few layers.
Next is to paint those small lines and dots with oils.
Then blend them in with a wide brush. Just moisten the brush a little with white spirit. You don't want to drown the surface.
Then the rest of the deck same treatment.
Another way of applying pigments! Get some white spirit into a mixer, pour in some pigments. I used dust and slate gray mixed in a bit. Thin to consistency of milk.
Used a really fine brush to paint the pigments on to the surface. Used reference as a guide.
Doesn't look too good yet! Take a big fluffier brush, get just a bit of dust pigments into it and start gently tapping the surface and moving the pigments on the surface as desired.
Make sure the brush is free of thinner and it's completly dry!
Next to make some marks with a brown wash thinned down super thin!
This is to simulate older dirt build ups that have dried already.
You can control this effect after application, just wait it to dry then use a big fluffy brush gently on top of the dry marks to get them off if needed.
Then more brown wash not so thin and more concentrated.
Then finishing with wet effects for even some fuel spillage!
There's some basic ideas! I'll prolly come back to add more little details when adding deck equipment etc.
