Ok is there anywhere online that has a tutorial on how to do repaints and weathering of clothing??

It would be more helpful!

Also looks like Im going to be needing a Soldier Story Body for the custom as well. One where you can expose the neck and make it look natural. Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks!!

Seb is a pretty cool guy so if you'd just ask him on OSW or SSF I'm sure he'd be happy to help you get started.

Ah yes it is Lord Vicious' Maximus, yeah that one is pretty cool. I was in on that set at some point but it cost too much imo so I backed out.

Seb made that Indy for my buddy lol. Board member Materia Hunter here (he doesn't post much anymore). It's great work.

Im thinking Ill coffee stain or tea stain the shirt and pants...Use sand paper on the jacket? Or would that ruin it?

What paints for the face?

I think watercolour paint would be more wise for the shirt and pants.

See, now I would never have thought of using water color paints on clothes...

May I ask why? Any sort of special reason?

It is a great paint to use as a wash so you just get some of the colour to seep through the clothes and not cover it entirely, and it's less messy than soaking the clothes in tea. ;)

You could also use artist pastels (they also sell weathering pastel sets) to make the clothing look faded, worn, stained or dusty.

Scrape the pastel sticks with a hobby knife and build up a pile of chalk dust (some weathering pastel sets come pre-ground) then use a soft make-up brush to strategically apply it to areas of the clothing.

Build it up slowly, don't try and put on too much in one shot. You can always put more pastel on if you need to, but you can't remove pastels easily if you put too much--- not without washing out the clothes and ruining any work you've already done.

Once you get the effect you like, lightly spray the clothing with matte fixative to lock the pastels in if you plan on handling the figure.

If you're going to do any dying or washes, then pastel weathering should be your very last step.

Yeah pastels are also very useful for that, a friend of mine swears by it but I have never done it before. The effect does look amazing though.

Ok, Thanks for the tips guys. I may still tea stain the clothes and then do the pastel ground paint to weather it even more.

Can I use those pastels on the face and neck too?

Thanks!

Yes, you can apply pastel to the face, neck and other hard surfaces. The pastel powder/dust won't stick well on glossy surfaces though so you'll need to spray any glossy areas with a light coat of matte finish before applying the pastels.

I dont want to do a full repaint of the face/head neck, I just want to "add to" the already base paint. to give it more of a gritty dirty sweaty Indyness look lol

Whats the best way to do that?

Sorry, Im a noob when it comes this stuff, give me a pencil and paper and Im good, paints and models....no sir!
