OTHER TECHNIQUES: 6. Weathering

GETTING SALTY ABOUT WEATHERING

Hey there True Believers, today we’re going to talk about how to create your own convincing weathered metallics using a really simple technique. This whole project is done using Warcolours and an airbrush, but you can use these techniques just as effectively with any acrylic craft paints and a brush. 



SUPPLIES

1) Coarse Salt
2) Hairspray
3) Old Brush
4) Hot Water
5) Prepped Model
6) Blister Foam


GETTING STARTED

First off, we’re going to need the the prepped model surface we’re going to be working on, in my case, it’s a spaceship corridor that I sculpted for a diorama out of cardstock and some other stuff. In your case, this can be for old pipes, rusted out cars, Land Raiders, junked planes, really, anywhere where enameled metals have been left to the elements.
