Weathering Woodmans' Armor

[woodman]

I have most of my armor together so I wanted to work on weathering some of the parts. I have some Fullers Earth on order but I wanted to post for feedback. I am going for a well worn look but not over the top. I wanted some places to look worn like no just dirty but old and worn against by the arms like the sides of my chest. Here are the pics.

I used only fullers earth to weather mine and I'm really happy with the result. In my opinion it really makes it look like you've been standing out in a sandstorm forever. One trick I found is that if you do one layer over everything you can get rid of the shine that the armor has. Take away that shine and it looks older. I also found that as I was weathering I felt I was using too much until I put the armor together and looked at it as a whole from a couple feet away. I did probably three or four layers and then clear coated the whole thing. The nice thing about weathering is that it's personal and as long as you like it, that's all that really matters.

Thanks for the tips, I am waiting to spray the Dullcote until I do the Fullers Earth

I have tried some different methods and I like this look the most.

That is some great looking 'dirt'! Good job on your weathering

I think it is already looking great bro!

Good job!

One thing I can see is that some areas have a "regular" scratch pattern. Like many lines together from the rubbing. Maybe try to get rid of those, and thats it.

Looks really good!
