Re: "weathering"

weathering on iron man suits is generally done with silver paint if i recall
you brush it on the edges, with a paper towel or sponge or something similar
that way it looks like the color is missing there

Re: "weathering"

There are many different methods but just test out a few things on scrap material to get what looks best.

I prefer to drybrush silver paint over the edges, good weathering really makes a prop or costume look real. Don't overdo it though! Only weather places that would get real life wear and tear.

Hey what do you guys think of this for a weathering job.. Done with a combination of a few sponges and brushes over top of some ink washes..

Critiques? Suggestions? I'll be doing more ink washes and some airbrushing once the thing is together to tie it all together..
