Weathering armor and other hard props is my favorite part of the build. In this first part of the tutorial, I go over the theory and thought that goes into weathering objects. Even if you weather using a different technique than I do, the planning and intention behind weathering will make your props look much more realistic.
I build armored costumes and props for Star Wars costumes as a member of the 501st Legion and Rebel Legion. In this build I am working on some Movie Realistic Clone Trooper armor pieces, but other props and examples are also shown.

This should be a must watch series for anyone who's into Star Wars cosplay!

Wow, thanks for the praise!

@JT-wz8io 3 года назад

This is so valuable. It's so easy to think you have a good understanding of something like this then watch someone break it down and realize how lacking your knowledge is. Thank you so much for putting this together.

@OddViking 3 года назад

Thank you for that. I have learned a lot from so many others that shared what they knew in tutorials like this, so I wanted to add to the collective knowledge when I could!

I completely overdid my mandalorian chest plate, and I have done more whethering more on my helmet. But I think my home it looks better than my chest piece mainly because my chest piece is covered in a coat. And do you really see the original colors I tried following these rules 11 thing I realize that works really well is Mud Preferably just driveway grovel mud. And you will be able to get scratches if you just drove it on there, and you will get a good mixture of Turn the low spots in scratches from the gravel. I also use a sea sponge for an irregular pattern

Excellent tutorial! TBH I do a fair bit of my weathering by kicking the stuff around on our gravel track!

@OddViking 3 года назад

That is a great way to get some more natural weathering!

I really loved this video, it’s gonna give me a purpose going forward when I weather my props. Thanks and keep up the great work.

I do scenic work on movies and we do a lot of this. You talked about the color of boots being different. ..have a tip if you are open to it. If you get yourself some dry color...rottenstone dry powder. ...mix it with water and put some clear in it for binder....then spray it on the shoes or anything you need to have appearance of dust. Rotten stone is amazing for that element!

Hey Colin, I was just listening to your Armor party podcast. Great interview! Also super cool that we approach things in a very similar way. This theory video is awesome and I bring up similar approaches and ideologies in my videos. Keep it dirty! Keep up the great work, love your stuff!

Super interesting, thank you for sharing. I'm also super jealous of your workshop, it looks so cool!

@OddViking 9 месяцев назад

thank you! it is just the corner of a garage, but I can make a lot there!

@markmarx2 3 года назад

these videos were super insightful. Recently i made a prop that was black, and wasn't quite sure how to dirty it up, what would you use? dark grey or brown?

@OddViking 3 года назад

It really depends on what it is used for. The truth is, white shows grime more than black, just look at cars that are those colors. A lot of black stuff only shows dust in the corners, so something matte and gray. If it is metal, worn to silver on the edges looks perfect. If it is something that gets muddy, think like a black car or shovel, and use tan dirt. For non-metal armor, it will just show little, so what you do is sort of lightly weather by sun-fading the high points, rather than acrylic washing the low points (with a dry brush, or airbrush).

@@OddViking wow thanks, thats an excellent reply thanks, I always looked forward to your instagram posts, now I'll look forward to your videos too. Cheeers

@toothpastechocolate9958 2 года назад

@@markmarx2 you can also use rubbing alcohol or acetone to make certain spots look sun faded! It makes a huge difference in the look of your props and is my favorite way to weather dark colors.

I love listening to you talk. Question, would you or wouldn’t you recommend weathering a set of ESB TK armor by wearing it in dirty places such as forests and desert? Does it work well?

@OddViking Год назад

ESB armor is usually unweathered. The white is the base plastic just like the Death Star troopers. The sand troopers on Tattooine were weathered, but those are the only ones from the Original Trilogy.
