Looking great so far trooper. When i was going down the path for SWAT, my weathering changed so many times its not easy to count. I found that an acrylic wash as a base layer worked very well to rid my armor of the shine. After the wash was done wait 24 hours and do the detail weathering.. I followed pandatroopers oil and dirt method with a twist.. .
The wash is using a damp rag with your personal mix of acrylic paints applyed to the cloth in moderation. Then dab, rub and move the paint around to get the dulled effect.. Im gonna have to make a video one of these days lol
