Re: LOTR Middle Earth Map Showoff Thread!!!
This is my attempt at the lotr map. Not much of a showoff, but still fun to make. The picture doesnt do it justice though, it looks more brownish etc irl.
I also roughen up the frame, scratches and acrylic paint.
Edit: Oh, I am new here, forgot to tell you what I did to it. Sprayed several thin layers of coffe on it. Burnt and thorn edges. I did two of them, so I went wild with this one and wrinkled it quite a bit. It looks tiny because it is A4 size.

All right...
Since a healthy number of us got in on this recent run, I figured it was about time to start seeing how everyone is weathering them up
Let me first say that I have never weathered a paper prop ever in my life...So I really had NO idea what I was doing...hehehe...But that ended up being part of the fun...
Here's the process that I used for mine...
1. Using a spray bottle, I misted it three times with strong tea...Letting it dry completely between mistings
2. Using the same aforementioned bottle, I then misted it twice with coffee...(once again letting it dry completely between mistings)
At this point it had pretty much the color I wanted, but it was really too even...So I decided it was time to really start messing with it a bit...
3. I burned the edges with a lighter and sprayed some heavy coffee on those edges of the map...I also sprayed some coffee randomly in a few different areas...(mainly to break up the color a bit so it didn't look so even)
4. I unscrewed the top of the spray bottle and "flicked" the stem across the whole thing a few times...This caused the little "rain" spots...
And FINALLY...
5. I took all the black ashes from when I burned the edges and sprinkled them over the map...I then rubbed them randomly over the whole thing to dingy it up some more...This was totally a random idea, but I liked the results...
Sooooo....What do ya think??? Did I do OK for my first try???
Comments and/or criticisms are both welcome and appreciated...
And by all means...LET'S SEE SOME MORE...hehe...
Thanks,
Jason

This is spectacular. Thanks so much for the breakdown on how you did it.
I can see this being incredibly useful in the future.

My pleasure! I was surprised to see this thread resurrected again...
Really the only thing I would do different from this first one is try to control the "drops" a little better...The small ones worked well, but the larger ones were a little distracting after a while.
