Weathering

Hayden has some white hockey armour and a belt made from Duct/Duck Tape that he wants to look like it's been in Tatooine - he cited a Sandtrooper

Here's the clean shind guard - I tested ont he other one and the paint just rubbed right off - so using some fine sand paper went over the whole thing - spent about 20 minutes lightly circling around, just to make it rougher








you can just about see int he shiny highlight the rouch scratches made by sandpapering - this is enough for the paint to get stuck in and 'stain' itUsing this beige (suede) colour first and a spnge applicator I cut and pulled bits out to make it rough

Dabbed on the paint all over








Then hair dry it to dry it out

After this used a damp towel to rub off the paint

then added some burtn umber paint to the bigger recesses and did the same

Here it is finished
