hey guys, I've recently bought IA: Model Masterclass Vol. 1, and I must say, it is amazing. definitely worth the 57$ investment.
Rather than running out and buying this and wait weeks for it, I decided I'd be clever, and make my own
So, I've decided to make my own weathering powders.
Anyway.
on with the show:
 |
| Step one: Materials |
An exacto knife [or any sharp knife, I suppose]
A hammer
A small tub
An artists' chalk
A piece of paper towel
I assume you'll need to buy a little tub for 50c and I did buy my pastel for 1.50$.
 |
| Step 2: cut |
Cut off a sizeable chunk of your pastel or chalk, and put it in your tub.
If it takes up more than 60% of the space in your tub, it may overflow. Be warned.
 |
| Step 3: wrap |
Wrap the clod of paper up in the middle of the paper, so that it is squarely in the middle. wrap both the sides into the centre.
 |
| Step 4: remove chunks |
As it says, remove all the little chunks that will be there. use the ball or point of your hammer to do this, or even just your knife.
 |
| Step 5: collect |
And, now you have your very own weathering powder!
Very cool, I went out and picked up some chalk for this very thing since I could not find a couple colors I really wanted.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, I use the ones from Secret Weapon Miniatures as they're what I started with and really enjoy using them now.
hat and I agree, the FW book is a good read to see how they do certain things.

Thanks for the veiwership. Means a lot.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd tend towards using either FW powders or the like, but since I was impatient, this was my best option.
Good proxy at the very least.
