Hi everybody! Today I’ going to show you how I painted and weathered my Destiny armor.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Before starting, I’d like to recommend you a couple books full of painting and weathering wisdom: “<\/span>Painting and weathering for Props and Replicas<\/span><\/a>” by Volpin Props and you can also find a section about this subject on Punished Prop’s “<\/span>Foamsmith: How to Create Armor Costumes<\/span><\/a>“. I’ve learnt a lot with these amazing books.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To begin with, I used Plasti Dip to prime my armors. I was eager to try this product! I’ve seen a lot of Plasti Dip tutorials and, at last, it’s available in Spain so I bought a couple cans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plasti Dip\u00a0 is a multi-purpose rubber coating that creates a flexible, anti-moiusture protection. It’s aso abrasion and corrosion resistant. It’s widely used in auto repairing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once applied, it dries fast and it becomes a resistant cover that is easily removable without ruining the base material.<\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn’t provide hardness to the foam but, as my armors were made of 1cm thickness sheet, I didn’t need that so this product was perfect for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

There are plenty of Plasti Dip colors and even super cool effect paints, but I only needed the regular black one. And I loved it. 3 or 4 layers were enough to cover all the pieces and it looked amazing. I didn’t lost my textures, that was something I was afraid of.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Once dried, I painted everything. I chose the Devilswep** shader, that has red, grey, Brown and black tones. I wanted a sober shader. Destiny has a lot of crazy color combinations but I didn’t\u00a0 like them for my costume. I actually chose this shader because I don’t quite like the red color, I prefer blues, purples… but I didn’t want it to look like my Tali or Shepard costumes, I wanted to make it look totally different and new. Stupid or brilliant? I don’t know.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, I masked with tape the parts I didn’t want to paint red.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I bought some <\/span>Tamiya TS-18<\/span><\/a>\u00a0metallic red cans. I was looking forward to trying this spray\u00a0paint because its results are flawless. It’s used for car models and that kind of stuff, so the finish is really good. Maybe I shouldn’t have used it on this embossed armor as it looks way better on flat surfaces, but I’m ok with the result.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I had to apply several layers until it looked good.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

For the black, grey and Brown parts I used my new and amazing <\/span>airbrush<\/span><\/a>. Painting with it is soo cool: it needs less amount of paint tan when using brushes, the brush streaks are no longer a problema and, in long term, is cheaper.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I painted the smaller details with a brush, of course. Masking little parts is a waste of time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the base colors were painted, it was time to make my favouruite thing: weathering! I first used a copper color paste with a brush in some parts to emulate rust\/ decoloration. As you can see, I did this in the inner corners and relieves, where dirt tends to accumulate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then I dry brushed the edges with silver acrylic paint to give it that chipped look. It’s amazing how the overall look changes with these little details.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, in some places, I tried to make a more dramatic rust effet by glueing a mix of wood glue and sand. Once it was dry, I painted that sticky mess using al the colors of the rainbow basing myself in some <\/span>rust <\/span><\/a>pictures I found on google.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you enlarge the picture below you’ll see it in some little corners. I don’t know if it looks like real rust but, anyway, I like that effect.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I used a mix of lighter brown colors on the edges of the belt to emulate age-worn leather.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it’s done! All dirty and weathered after a journey across the Solar System.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And that’s all for today. As always, you can find me on Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a> and that stuff. If you have any doubts, critiques or advice, feel free to comment below.<\/span><\/p>\n
