Time Bandits Map Weathering

[METATRON]

Hi, it’s time now. After more then a year I will begin to weather my time bandits map. Will take some time. I’m thinking about making a 3D printed frame for it. But at first it will life in a normal glas frame. It’s hard to find the right size if you don’t wanna go custom. The biggest I can get is 100x70cm. No, I will not translate that in Inch. That’s how it is for me, when you folks always write your measurements in Inch. Why divide it by 16? First I cut the right clocks off. That really hurts… When I take a good look to the movie pictures I think I give it a little more first and nibble my way down during the process.
I couldn’t find a other Thread about map weathering. What’s important? ( I have watched the tested videos on YouTube) Any Tips and Tricks? For paper I really like black tea, not coffee for weathering, for example.

I had some nice blue velvet from an other project for the background.

 

[division 6]

inch, unit of British Imperial and United States Customary measure equal to 1/36 of a yard. The unit derives from the Old English ince, or ynce, which in turn came from the Latin unit uncia, which was “one-twelfth” of a Roman foot, or pes. (The Latin word uncia was the source of the name of another English unit, the ounce.) The old English ynce was defined by King David I of Scotland about 1150 as the breadth of a man’s thumb at the base of the nail. To help maintain consistency of the unit, the measure was usually achieved by adding the thumb breadth of three men—one small, one medium, and one large—and then dividing the figure by three. During the reign of King Edward II, in the early 14th century, the inch was defined as “three grains of barley, dry and round, placed end to end lengthwise.” At various times the inch has also been defined as the combined lengths of 12 poppyseeds. Since 1959 the inch has been defined officially as 2.54 cm.

Yes, I know. I can read Wiki, too.
What’s under „Sarcasm“?
But, do you know that the Barbylionians did count there finger bones with there thumb and so you can count to 12 on every hand.
What’s with weathering tips?
