Lasse Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Hi all! I'm finally back and am now finishing my TD. I have a question regarding the degree of "offwhiteness" that flys for the canvas part of the belt... How dark of an offwhite is ok? I have a lot of heavy artists cotton canvas that is perfect for the job as long as the colour/hue is approvable... Looks very beige in this pic, comes off as lighter in RL but still a very different white to the superwhite ABS ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcalus Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I went with the least bright white canvas at the fabric shop, then got it dirty.. Remember, how it looks when you take a picture, is what it will look like when someone takes a photo with you. Pics are a great way to double check weathering appearance.Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not I can try to give it a white wash with paint before weathering. Or see if bleach has an effect. Hmm... Thanks mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasse Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 I decided to go for it. 4 layers sewn together, and a light whitewash seems to have done the trick. With the weathering on it should look the business 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
