Purplehaze Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hi Everyone, Well I have finally gotten around to starting the weathering on my armor. Although i am not even 501st accreditted yet, I figured I would do my weathering to a SWAT trooper, in particular the "Cantina Sargent". I know that this particular trooper is hard to get screen shots of & have been involved in discussions on the MEPD forums before so i have attached some photos of the trooper that has been presumed to be the cantina trooper. in the photo of the troopes in front of the Dewback the trooper second from left has the white ear on the helmet, no shoulder pouch & is relitively clean (Pauldron & armor). in the street shot the trooper has a grey ear & pouch, but the dirt patterns on the legs, chest & ad plates match in both photos. so given that he is hard to find am I headed down the right path with my weathering of a difficult to find trooper. Anyway i hope you like it & by the way I am using Pandatroopers "Dirty Oily" method on the armor. Thanks Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Looking really good! I'm not sure the weathering patterns for the legs are different between the two pictures, but the lighting in the dewback photo is much harsher and washes out the detail seen in the second photo. I think your weathering looks fine now, but if you prefer a dirtier look, you could get away with a little more texture on the legs to match what is seen in the street scene. It's certainly 501st and MEPD approvable now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Tigui Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Yep, agreed with Beren, we are always dirtier around our legs up. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyBoy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 off to a great start....very hard to duplicate some of the troopers weathering based on the lack of images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felice Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Mix brown color with water (1:3) and do a washing with a bright brush over the armor;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
