                        Weathering Firearms
                        Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 9:48 PM
                        I have some small scale firearms from various kits. I searched the site for techniques used to weather firearms but came up empty. I did find some great informative info on weathering i.e., rust, sludge, wear and tear. Specifically, I was looking for information on weathering gun barrels. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.........

                        Lones technique is great, instead of a shiny silver look, they get a worn steel look.  Sometimes a thin, dark colored wash can bring out the details nicely.

                        You could also try taking a 2B pencil and 'color' the gun. The graphite gives it a metallic, blueing effect. Works real well.......
