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.

Will the Tank trooper armor be painted white? Or bare ABS?

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. Thanks for the information.

No problem,I caught a glimpse of it on the mission reports and it looks good. Though some close ups wouldn't hurt.
