At P-Rex Hobby, we understand that passionate modelers want more than just clean builds; they want to tell a story. That’s why our Weathering Collection includes everything you need to add realism, personality, and history to your scale models. From rust-streaked Gundams to dirt-covered tanks, our carefully selected model weathering paint and tools help you achieve dramatic, lifelike finishes.
History: Weathering
GSI Creos, established in 1991 and based in Tokyo, Japan, is a renowned supplier of modeling materials and tools under its flagship brand Mr. Hobby. The company has become a staple in the scale model and hobbyist community worldwide, known for its dedication to precision and quality. Among its diverse offerings, weathering products hold a special place for modelers aiming to add realism and artistic depth to their builds.
Weathering adds visual depth and authenticity. A clean model might look good, but a weathered model looks more realistic. Our selection of weathering colors for models lets you simulate age, wear, and exposure with precision. Add soot to exhaust pipes, simulate chipped paint from battlefield damage, or recreate the effects of rain, sand, and sun.
Whether you're crafting military vehicles, robots, or post-apocalyptic scenes, our weathering products help tell your model’s story convincingly.
We offer an extensive range of high-performance model weathering powders and paints from trusted brands, including Tamiya, AK Interactive, AMMO by Mig, and Mr. Hobby. Use powders for realistic dust and mud effects, or try enamel and acrylic-based washes to bring out panel lines and surface textures.
Explore a wide range of weathering paint colors online, including:
Rust and corrosion tones

Each product is designed for easy application and professional results, whether you’re brushing, stippling, or airbrushing.

Beginner-Friendly Tips
New to weathering? Begin with simple techniques, such as washes and dry brushing. Our model weathering paint can bring out recessed details and textures in just a few steps. Try applying model weathering powders dry for subtle effects, or mix with thinners for muddy terrain and battle damage.
Remember, realism is about layering; less is often more. Build up effects gradually and seal your work with a topcoat for durability.
