A pristine prop is nice, but battle-worn weapons tell a story. Learn our weathering techniques!
Materials Needed
- Acrylic paints (black, brown, silver)
- Dry brushes
- Sponges
- Matte sealer
Techniques
Dry Brushing: Load brush, wipe most paint off, lightly drag across edges. Sponge Dabbing: Creates worn paint texture. Wash: Thin dark paint into recesses for depth.
Where to Weather
Focus on edges, handles, and areas that would see contact. Think about how the weapon would actually be used!
