ShaunPug Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Hey everyone! With my purchase of an RS helmet (still waiting for it to arrive...in the 3rd wave), I figured I get the jump on weathering my armor. I'm a perfectionist and a "screen accurate" snob so I feel like weathering is technically the only option When approaching weathering are there any sort of templates or techniques that are tried and true for a screen accurate weathered look? I've read that the original armor was painted white and then rattle canned from a distance with black spray paint...anybody done that? I've got an airbrush and all the necessary tools...I just wanted some input before I got started. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Yes I've done it. You get the screen look for sure with the rattle can spray. I weathered my daughter's scout that way. Just make sure you test out and or practice with the can and a piece of cardboard or something. What I mean is figure out what distances you wanna spray from. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 If you want screen accurate then black rattle can is the only way. Pretty sure that's how RS is going to do your lid so you'll want to match And technically the Scouts on the Death Star when the Emperor arrived were not weathered so a CWTB is a totally legit option 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know they haven't seen any real action \m/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
