Robster Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 hello guys here is my first coat of weathering for my cantina white pauldron sand trooper, the lights and camera have lightened it up a bit but please let me know what you think.. Quote
ex507 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 That looks pretty light but as you said its the camera lights it up... Looks pretty decent, what technique did you use? Quote
Robster Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 i used fullers earth raw umber and 2 to 3 sponge squares, what i do is put some fullers in a small bowl, use one of the sponges(dipped into the raw umber) to apply it on the helmet then quickly use the other sponges to lighten and spread the fullers to my liking. hope this helps, rob.

sandtrooper Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Are the sponges dry when you do this? Nothing is used to help the fullers stick to the helmet? Thanks. Quote
Cantina Security Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Nice white bumps. I'm doing the cantina sergeant as well. I would think you need a bit more weathering. Pull up the shots of the TD's behind the scenes and try to mimick the patterns of weathering for that particular trooper. That is if your going for SWAT . They switched the armor quite a bit so do the best you can tracking it down. Also check the other SWAT threads for the cantina sergeant , my thread has some nice photos as well. Good luck. Quote
Raintrooper Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Look great Rob! I bought some fullers earth, and I was going to use the hairspray method that trooperbay.com (Mike) shows in his tutorial. Is your bucket ABS or painted HIPS? Quote
Robster Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 @sandtrooper, yes they are dry, when my weathering is finished then i add the hairspray to help it stick to the helmet. hope that helps:) @cantina Secuirty. thank you, i will check out your thread:) i did find this pic as a reference i will use to weather the helmet. @ my brother Raintrooper, it is hand painted hdpe.

Cantina Security Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 That is a good reference for "look sir droids" notice the colored ear bumps. I think the Cantina Security Sergeant is a bit lighter in weathering. Just a bit. Just my opinion of course , but the flame pattern on the head is Davin Felth, so, him being the White Pauldron trooper in the cantina, one would think it should be this helmet.... But alas, I don't think it was. Where they swaped armor so much, it's hard to say who had what in some scenes. We will figure it out. I like the photo of the TDs with the helmets off, by the dew back. That one really let's you see the individual sets of armor side by side and compare weathering patterns. Pm incoming. Quote
Robster Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 ok a bit of an update, the pic is from my phone and again lighter that it really is. Quote
DirtyBoy Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Patterns are looking good rob. Hard to tell the true nature of the weathering based on the light. I found the best pictures are in natural light....not sunny or dark....early morning shots. You've come a long way my friend...congrats on keeping the hunt alive. Quote
Robster Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 some more pics i took outside real quick, a little more weathering... Quote
Cantina Security Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Yes sir, that's lookin a lot better. Really getting there. Maybe soften /blend In some of the hard edges, like the circles on top. It's looking good brother. Quote
Robster Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 here we go:) i think this is it, just a couple small spots i think need lightening.. Quote
DirtyBoy Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Looking really good man! Get those mic tips and the brow installed lol Quote
Cantina Security Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Wow, really coming along. I'd say it's good until you get your armor weathered , then you could tie them together. Very nice work! Quote
sandtrooper Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Very cool to see the progress in your weathering. Quote
