Weathering choices


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I'm looking to weather my Cumberbund and pouches to meet the 'Down and Dirty' look of my armour. I'm just wanting to know what the best way to approach this would be?

 

I find a spray can can be easily overdone and damage the material (Mercerised Cotton). I wouldn't mind throwing some dried earth/ dirt on it and see if that has an authentic look.

 

What processes did other people try?

 

Thanks!

I did some very light misting using tamiya matte black model spray cans. I stood about 1.5 to 2ft back when I did the misting, so it's really light.

The spray from the tamiya cans is much finer than a standard rustoleum rattle can, and closer to an airbrush, which I've found has a better effect.

Here's a weathered screen used bund. You can see paint spray all over it. 01eda96c41f5b4631554b8e77ae805e7.jpg

I'll give a spray can a shot when the weather picks back up then :) Non stop rain in Northern England haha.

Will aim for a good misting distance :)
