Nice! I Love it.
But flip it the other way
all of the tiles (well, the VAST majority) in Deckard's apartment have the square part in the lower left

ahh yes, the age old coffee trick. Weathered my first Goonies map with coffee. It stunk for years haha.I used coffee, once, for weathering these types of tiles...looks good, but your entire room will smell like Starbucks for months
I think I'll stick with an acrylic wash

I used instant coffee and mud to weather my desert trooper.
It still smells like stale coffee after 24 years.

Here's a little peak at the weathering progress. I did a larger chunk of two column to help see it in context. It takes longer than I thought it would, haha. About 5 minutes per tile, so this is going to take FOREVER! I'm going to try a few more things to see if I can speed it up without sacrificing detail. Just a note, the Ennis tile to the left of the weathered blank tiles is jut placed there temporarily and is the same test tile seen in the previous post. I'm trying a couple of different combinations of heavy / light on the tiles and the gaps. Also trying out some random pitting and cracking. It can all be recovered with paint and do it over if I don't like it. That's what I have to keep telling myself anyway. Feedback and opinions are very welcome.

I think it's looking brilliant. Only issue I could see is the cracked effect might just make it look like peeling paint rather than stone. Other than that, Keep at it!!!
This is an amazing project—outstanding!
mostly wet and dry paper towels.Are you using a sponge, or a rag to do the effects on the tile?

Yep I tried that. The problem with this is that I don't want dark highlights. so dabbing/blotting and then wiping away doesn't provide the correct look. I really have to work the paint down deep into the pits and then wipe the excess off. A large sponge brush is proving to be the quickest for getting down in there, and then a clean wet paper towel for smoothing away the top layer.
I'm also going to try a spray bottle to mist larger areas. Weathering the top row of tiles and the upside down ones is going to prove difficult I'm sure.
OMG the spray bottle is SO MUCH FASTER!! I made some good progress on the weathering today. I was really dreading this because the first few tiles took so long. But misting it with the wash all over, then wiping it down to get it wet and let it set into the pits, then spritz it randomly and knock it back with a wadded up damp paper towel and I knocked out two walls in an hour and a half.
I'll do the gaps between the tiles with a darker brown/charcoal wash after I'm doing with all the tiles

What an amazing project!
The attention to detail and follow through is just mind blowing.
Most excellent!

Thanks man! Yeah I'm trying to keep up the momentum and work on it at least a little bit every day so I don't lose steam haha. The more I get done, the more I realize I still have to do.What an amazing project!
