Robster Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 ok guys for the weathering i use a small sponge, an old rag, and fullers earth raw umber. Dab fullers earth on the part you want to weather, next use the sponge to dap and spread out the fullers earth to your liking, and use rag to dap off excess. i can post up pics if you like. ~rob-td-8821 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandtrooper Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 A little off topic but is that a pug in the background of yesterday's pic? I'm going to try this weathing method with my helmet. Right now I've only been using the one color paint method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 you can use a lightly damp sponge, i use the hairspray at the end of my weathering when i am happy with it to seal the weathering in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
