Plastic Model

How can i create an antique finish for a plastic model?

Can I? The models in question are Master Grade Gundam models and some aircraft models. If not antique a worn dirtier look.
Yea, i guess i'm looking for a weathered look, anyone know any good paint brands for this.

The tradition method is by painting it all in a realistic metal colour (rub and buff paint for instance) and after drying painting it with black ink. Wipe away the ink and it's antiqued. But this is antique as in "old silver" with a tarnish like here:

Is that what you are looking for?

If you want models to look scruffy and used you'll have to go for weathering. Here is an article on the techniques:
