I have seen numerous ways to weather armor,yet none accurately match the look and feel of the screen used pieces. Any suggestions or methods would be appreciated.

Re: Weathering
In that case you could try your hand a pastel chalk weathering. It works well on painted surfaces. Basically go to a hobby store and buy artist pastel chalk in the color scheme to match. In this case I would think greys and blacks. Next you take a razor and shave the chalk into powder form. From there you basically paint the chalk on with a brush wherever you want. You can control to process better like this and really get the colors you want in the creases and such. Takes a bit to get the hang of it but I love this method. I used it on my Fett and animated clone Tup. Here is a example of it on Tup. Keep in mind for this clone I was going for a animated look.

You said you had a photo example,and then I didn't see one and I thought I was missing something. Anyways,if I like the way it looks on your setup,I'll definitely give it a shot.

Re: Weathering
No problem,I caught a glimpse of it on the mission reports and it looks good. Though some close ups wouldn't hurt.Captain jack wrote:Ok sorry I am having all kinds of issues with photobucket. I got one to post will post more when it decides to work.
