Hawk Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hey all! I am planning on going to an event this sunday, but I was thinking since I have a pauldron and ammo pouch (I know other things are needed to make it official) that I'd like to see if how I'd like the "dirty" effect on my armor. But I want it to be easily removable so I can either 1) Go back to clean or 2) Remove it so I can do it the right way. It also has to be something easy that I can do today. (if that is possible) Maybe something at a local store I could pick up? Again, this is just going to be a TEST run sort of thing. Nothing that needs to be permanent. If/WHEN I DO go official TD, I want to do it right and make it look REAL good. So this is just a temporary thing for this weekend. Any suggestions?

berkal Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Use watercolours like woodland scenics. If you don't fix them they will easily wash off with soap and water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-607 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 "Fix" them?You can "fix" them with hairspray but I won't recommend that if you plan to remove it. Just grab some Woodland colours, follow the tutorial by TK-1536 and go dirty without fixing it. During the event some of the colour will rub off and you can do another layer of weathering if you like it. After 2-3 layers of re-weathering the texture will become more and more realistic.

Daetrin Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I agree - woodland scenics is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiDri Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Before you DO ANYTHING make sure to Novus (or equivalent) polish all of your scratches! Weather can be a huge pain to get out of scratches (especially if you use darker pigments.) Then you can use a 20% acrylic paint/80% water mixture of black/brown to weather your armor, just brush it on and then blot it with a paper towel. To clean (to perfection, grab a can of Denatured Alcohol, it will clean your armor easy with out damaging it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
