Bodie Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hi there! I'm new here, this is my first post. I went with RS Prop Masters for my kit. This is my first build and my first shot at weathering and was curious if I'm on the right track? I went with the Fuller's Earth/Woodland Scenic route, as seen on the looksirdroids site. I'm still fitting my armor and am almost there, so I'll get that posted at a later date. But anyway, here's the helmet I've weathered so far. I wanted that really dirty-grimey, crunchy, and uneven kinda look: I'll be installing a different lens, as I'm not a fan of the flimsy lens the kit came with. Just tacked it in for now so don't mind that, lol. Thanks much! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spOOL68 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Looking good Masen! It's all pretty much personal preference unless you're trying to match a trooper for SWAT. I might add a little more heavier(darker) areas in some of the crevices to mix it up a bit. But good job so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went ahead and added some more in the crevices and also added some darker tones for good measure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveMonkey Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I agree, it looks good and you’re on the right track. Unless you go for SWAT, this type of weathering should be good for basic approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hausi Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 The dirty areas look really good, but the others look a little too clean to me. After applying the "heavy" dirt, I gave my complete bucket a wash with some watered down vallejo earth (game colour) but doing this would probably also wash away the pigments.

I'll tinker with it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchy Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I like it and as mentioned earlier, it's always personal. I personally prefer the less is more approach, but that's just me. The best guideline is "where would dust/ dirt gather or attach in a real situation". Good luck with your weathering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
