Weathering the costume was done quick and dirty since I was running out of time to get it finished. After getting it assembled I ran it through the wash. I then dyed all the pieces in tan Rit dye to get an even color. Next I dry brushed the edges of all the bandages with the same dye but undiluted. This gave some nice uneven brown tones and brought out the bandage edges. Then I gave the whole thing a dusting with flat black spray paint making sure to get some nice random spatter. Finally I added the blood which was just red food coloring. Not sure what the best thing to use for that would be but the food coloring worked great. Overall it was a pretty hasty job, but I was splitting the difference between speed and detail (leaning towards speed!) All things considered I thought it turned out well. Thanks a lot for the compliments btw!

Very cool! I need to get used to dying stuff. I try way too hard to get just the right color on the first try, but .... well .... too much grief that way.

It looks great! Can't wait to see more from you!
