[haji]

first layer paint: chrome



Mix vasoline, salt, dirt, apply mixture on edges, corners, where ever you want the wear and tear. Paint desired color for final layer. scrape off mixture



heres a rough example

Pictures are dark, i gave my plastic body aeg a damaged appearence using the same method.

Wow, you re-painted your helmet because of my comment? Well, hope I didn't make you think you did too bad of a job



Anyways, lovin' the new paintjob, grade A sir. What method did you use to weather it?

 

[mightymints]

Haha, I did indeed, but you were right, and im glad you made an honest comment as we cant progress if people say everything is perfect! Same as before paint wise, but more metallic paint, and some dirt effects!

 

[Underdogg13]

Gracias.

Small addition to the underside to try and add a little more detail and realism!

Here's a photo I took of mightymints testing whether he could safely drive in the helmet

Very nice! That ODST got the crap kicked outta his helmet!

 

[Malechei]

Saltiest dog in the Corps right there. That helmet looks like it's been blown up and shot more times than I have. VERY nice job on the "weathering". Now you just gotta have a story for each dent and crack and ding.

Well, for all of you in Texas who need stuff painting when I move over, if you pay for paint, ill paint your stuff!

Dude, that helmet... mmm... sure is minty-fresh (sorry, couldn't resist, lol)



Awesome work on the new paint job. Really looks like it's been through hell and back. And I like the extra bits of "realism" you added to it. I take it you're going to be doing up the rest of the ODST armour to match? :unsure



Gotta have that all-around war-torn look to it, after all
