Weathering Tests

Hey Folks,

 

Trying out weathering using a masking fluid and zenithal highlighting with the airbrush. Got this wolf on the go, and a few other chapters primed for testing.

Points I've learned already: have more small areas than less large areas.

 

What have your experiences in weathering been?

Have to agree with everyone so far, it does look a bit like camo. Def making the damage smaller and in clusters here and there will get you better results. I noticed when I gave weathering a try, the best way to get that random damage look is to use a sponge. Usually you can just rip up some of the foam that comes in blister boxes and dab that in the dark color, dab it in random "well worn" areas and then highlight. I haven't tried the masking technique yet but it seems promising.

as the old saying goes "less is more"

 

small scrapes and scratches and not on every piece of armour going will always look nicer.

 

if you want to play about with masking fluid, its best to apply it to a sponge and then dab it onto a very dark base colour, the randomness of the sponge will make the weathering look nicer, although it will require highlighting or leaving all the weathering to be done in this manner rather than "painted" on as such.

 

heres an unfinished example of some zenithial wolf leg with a few scritches on it.
