I tend to use rattlecan, mostly Krylon
Okay cool - thanks man! Already have a few cans of Krylon from other projects so this works out well. |

I too like the "rattle" can. Krylon or Rustolieum both work well, the finish is up to you. Brush on is good for small areas or pieces, but if you're doing the whole hilt go spray for nice even coverage.

Okay cool, that makes sense. I'm going to try light dry brushing for some weathering on my Aeon v4's then figured I needed some kind of clearcoat to hold it all together. Now trying to figure out the best way to hold it for spraying, might craft something really quick out of some spare 2x4's and a wooden dowel held sideways that I can hang the hilt on, then I can take that anywhere and spray it |

used a mix of bottle and rattle on my latest project (click below to see album)… dry brushing and washes go a long way to making great effects. The tutorials on these forums are massively helpful and I refer to them constantly…still want to watch someone do a tutorial where they do battle damage…but that's me ;-)

I have a saber that I am planning to customize and I'm planning on some weathering (who wants a shiny saber anyway?!?) & a leather wrap. I want to use some kind of a wash to give the hilt some "grime" effect. Can anyone give a tip on how to make and use a wash like this?

I would think it's enamel paint, the kind you use for model kits or metal parts. You can find it at any local hobby shop (if they sell model trains, model car or airplane kits, or wargaming miniatures they almost certainly have the paints) or places like Michaels or Hobby Lobby. As Darth Rifter said, Testors or Model Masters are two common brands. It comes in little bottles.
I find at least near me, the Testors are cheaper by almost a buck per bottle for the same size, and tend to dilute better. |
