luismfm70 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hi, thank you. Sorry for the late reply,I´ve used weathering techics that i´ve saw in youtube vídeos (search for sandtrooper weathering):-For the use of dirt or sand, search the tk4510decals vídeo, where he explains how to apply sand in the helmet (the process is the same for the rest of the armor) -For the acrylic paint you can find the vídeos of panda86dk aka pandatrooper (This tutorial it´s pinned in this forum too). The only diferent thing i´ve done, compared to panda video, was the use of Americana Acrylic Paint - Fawn. Applied with a sponge in great quantities but waited a few days to clean, using my hand and ethilic alcohol all over the armor, leaving the dry paint in the edges. For the sand, used 3m spray mount glue over some áreas of the armor, applied sand, used for dioramas, and after that, Americana varnish to fix the sand.But if you follow the vídeos you can see the whole process i´ve used. This photo was taken in the beggining of the process, with the acrylic paint. I have repeated the process 3 or 4 times, because i don´t like too much dirt. After this, i´ve used the sand.cheers Luis M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luismfm70 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Some photos from my first trooping with the sandtrooper.I had a problem with my knee plate and i had to use one from my stormtrooper armor, im not canon in this photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I like the texture too. It was part of what I tried to do with just other methods on mine — like throwing dirt on it... and walking around in actual desert locals here in Albuquerque. haha Very nice!

luismfm70 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks Bluey. After 3 days with the armor at ComicCon i have a new and natural weathering. I got the knee plate from Trooper Bay and i´m fixing now the armor. Thanks LuisM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
