maj_hassel Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I got around to weathering my ab plate. Since, next to the helmet, the ab plate has the most detail I'd thought I'd post some pics. I think it came out pretty good. Just for kicks, I thought I'd add a little carbon scoring, indicating a glancing blast to the gut. There might be some minor detailing to do (clean up some obvious paint strokes, lighten some areas, darken others, etc...) Here's the ab plate next to the helmet I weathered a couple of days ago... ...and here's a close up of the blast mark I got from that Jawa--er, I mean bounty hunter. Hopefully, the next pics I post will be the entire suit--and me in it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maj_hassel Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 Outstanding - which technique did you use? The "dab a blob of tempera paint and then smack (or pat lightly--your choice) at it with a dry paper towel" method. I'll make a pic intensive tutorial as soon as I figure out a workable and removable method for fixing the paint so it won't rub off so easily. I'm thinking the answer might be in a product called Krylon Crystal Clear. I'll probably pick up a can, weather a scrap piece, seal it with the Krylon, and see if I cant clean everything back to gloss white with something like Goo Gone. BTW, I picked up a lot of pointers from TK409's weathering tutorial: http://www.tk409.com/tk409.html check the "Sandtrooper Conversion" section.

TD9009 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I guess You can use hair spray to fix a little bit the tempera paint on ABS surfaces... But, BEFORE, do a spray test on a blank ABS plastic surface You don't use... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
