[QUOTE="eldwain, post: 3730372, member: 135407"] Hey there all, so I recently finished my first Halo armor. I did an ODST build and it turned out farly good. I was able to do lots of weathering in the form of scratches as you can see below. [ATTACH]516062.vB[/ATTACH] Now My Problem is the scratches look cool and all but to give it that battlefield look I want to get it dirty. The only problem is how do you make black armor look dirty. I mean if the armor was any other color I would use some washes of black and brown to give it that look, but with the black armor, it doesn't show up at all. I did do a photo shoot with my armor were i just actually got it dirty and covered it in mud. but that was just for the photo shoot. I doubt this is the choice method, especially for conventions and commissions. [ATTACH]516061.vB[/ATTACH] So I guess im looking for some helpful painting tips on how to make my black armor look dirty without actually getting it dirty. Any help is appreciated, thanks! [/QUOTE]
