nsbuff28 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Hey everyone! I’m thinking of starting to weather my armor and soft parts. It’s been shiny for too long. I was curious what everyone else has used to weather their armor. I was thinking maybe using water downed acrylic and coating the armor in it and then wiping the excess off. Or using a rattle can at a good distance so it doesn’t go on to thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 For ROTJ costume, most of us use a misting technique with a rattlecan. This is tricky though, because it's easy to overweather and that's not ideal. With weathering on the ROTJ scout, less is more. Check this video and the post from 11 May 2017 in the thread below: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 When using the rattle can test on some cardboard or something to get your distance and technique down before applying to your kit. Always start the spray off to the side of the piece you are spraying and move quickly across it. Starting the spray over the piece may create more of blaster burn look, which should be done sparingly if at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
