Once The Painting Was Finished, Everything Got A Coat Of Satin Varnish To Seal It Before Weathering.

Once the painting was finished, everything got a coat of satin varnish to seal it before weathering. OR THAT WAS THE PLAN
Spoiler: It turns out I didn't use enough varnish...

...so when I tried to wipe away the excess oil paint I was using for weathering, I ended up taking the varnish off as well π In some places, when I used IPA I ended up taking the paint off down to the primer π€¦ββοΈππ€¦ββοΈ
By being gentle with the q-tips and kitchen towel (and some careful reapplication of paint where needed), I was able to get it to a presentable, if rather heavily engrimed, state. Before anything else went wrong, I gave the whole thing a much heavier coat of varnish and called it a day
