Out of curiousity, what colour does everyone tend to use for weathering? Black or brown?

I'm looking to upgrade my fore arm armour as well from the usual black elastic strap. How have others created the grey straps for clearance?

As a new BARC trooper nearly ready for clearance I was wondering if now would be a good time to tidy up the numerous CRL threads concerning this costume? As a newbie to the BARC it took me awhile to trawl through the different pinned subjects and discussions to find out which is the correct and up to date CRL. Ideally just one pinned current CRL would be enough and the rest either deleted or archived. Your thoughts?

Superb My shoulder pads are only velcro'd on so this makes a lot of sense. What did you use for the grey strip, mine are too short which gave it even less hold and another reason they came off so easily?

Thats the same colour I have on my Kashyyyk combats, and in my mind its too light compared to the screen shots on the previous page. When you're out in the light of day it almost looks white, instead of the colour seen on the captures on Kashyyyk itself even with shading etc.

So I attached the grey shoulder straps with velcro thinking that would hold, only to discover they didn't. Never expected so much movement between the front and back plate in this area and was wondering how others have attached them?

To be honest I think the reason the boots look white is because of the conditions they were fighting in. When I served in Iraq my tan desert boots were almost white once they spend a month in theatre. The sandy conditions has that effect and the one fighting scene on Kashyyyk (although not a desert) is a beach. Thats why you can't tell if its white or tan, its a weathered tan thats turned the leather lighter
