Well i finished weathering and i think i went a bit overboard, i will have a go at removing some of it next weekend as i seem to turn an orangy brown in the sun, i was using themove along trooper for reference https://imgur.com/gallery/yZVXn

when suiting up at what stage do you put the pack on? after all the arms are on or before the arms?
-
Will keep that in mind thanks dutchy, will report back when weathering is complete!
-
thanks, that leg piece was a quick job to test the method i will try to improve to get a more natural look, and play around with the colours, i think i will be ready to weather the armour this weekend!
-
had another go at some different methods today and ended up with this, i really like the look of this one, i need a bit more practise on it though, i ended up with a white line across the bottom of the ridge.
-
Thanks for the feedback, i will keep practicing on spare bits and trying different things before i even go near my real armor,
-
first time weathering trying out acrylic paint and wiping off with an old rag, however i keep ending up with a spotty, painted look i have a few spare armor pieces to keep practising on but would also like some advice and feed back, trying out some different colour combinations with burnt umber and black.

Are the mp40 hip pouches made from leather? Or is canvas also allowed, where can i buy the leather ones? Are there any makers here on the forums?
Backpack pain

Did a troop in my sandy for the first time, was only a 2 hour troop collecting for charity, however at the end of it my shoulders were very sore and aching, the straps and just canvas, i also get the backplate digging into my upper shoulder blades, i saw a thread where someone had added a chest strap too the backpack too but the photos were deleted, i also wondered if i could just buy a backpack, cut and e6000 them onto the canvas for comfort, thanks for reading and all help appreciated
