Ulises Victoria Posted April 12, 2015 Share #2 Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Hello. If this is what you are looking for, it is done by painting your base color, and then dry-brushing a lighter version of the color where you want wear, and a darker color where you want dirt. Bear in mind that when weathering "less is best". On the guns, I painted the base color and then using a brush with sepia india ink, start brushing until the brush start to dry and starts leaving streak marks. I am trying to describe in a paragraph what took me years of experimentation. Start with the basics above, and you will start seeing results soon.

Richard Griffith Posted April 13, 2015 Share #4 Posted April 13, 2015 Very nice~! This is an excellent example of cross over to another hobby and medium, namely, the plastic modeling. There are many clubs and websites devoted to plastic modeling (cars, planes, armor and figurines) which discuss various ways to paint and weather, especially the armor folks. Keep building, and above all, have fun. Duff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
