Weathering help

Hey folks.

So working on the TD,And i think i am almost done done to join the 501st.

But currently i am not happy with my weathering. I used just acrylic and alot of black oil like acrylic rather then a sandy look.

I have seen a few sandys here in the U.K who have great weathering with Fuller's Earth,My current problem is that i don't know much about the fuller's earth in the uk,As i saw american videos that have dark browns,sandy and grey colours.

So if anyone knows where to get these kinds of coloured fullers earth it would help alot

but I have been thinking of alternitives,As i am currently living in a island in scotland and we have many amazing beaches here (Already planning some good photos in the near future,currently in the western isle/stornoway). And i thought maybe i could collect some sand tommorrow,re-spray my armour white with Appliance paint and work with real beach sand,acrylics and possibly even order some black sand from the internet.

I was just wondering has anyone tried this?.

Thanks a bunch guys :td:

(p.s just a photo of my armour currently,i know the arm is funny looking,it's a w.i.p but just to show i think i can do much better on the weathering on it)

For best weathering results I can only recommend the Pandatrooper approach (Video tutorials can be found on here, Whitearmor or just google search). I wouldn't necessarily recommend fullers earth but if you want to go that route I think Trooperbay has them.

Cheers

If you're on a budget, try using different color chalks. Get a piece of 80 grit sand paper and sand the chalk over the desired area. Use a nice soft paint brush, and lightly blend in the desired affect. When the desired affect is achieved, lightly spray the area with some non-scented hair spray. Try a test piece first. Hope this helps bro.
