Nice, subtle job. Some people overdo it, I think, but that looks good! Of course, Stormtroopers typically don’t survive in battle long enough to get dirty! 😁

[@oliviapartida6534]

I did this with my carbonized stormtrooper because it looked to clean and your technique is so helpful thanks!!

[@micahwright5901]

I mean, the cleanness is kinda the point of that particular figure, but whatever works for you.

[@klaustruthahn4185]

i just saw the thumbnail and had already a smile on my face

[@joemartinez5673]

Looks very good!! I’ve customized a few Batman, Hulkbuster ,and C3PO. Lots of fun!! Keep up the great work.

[@getitpoppin1232]

Awesome video I love the demo videos where you show how to do something there great

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

[@lemarjohnston688]

Awesome video!

[@joebueno5897]

Thanks Greg for sharing! You always have this positive and fun vibe towards this hobby.

[@thegrapplingwookie1847]

Awesome! Thanks for this. I’ve been contemplating doing some fig photography and love these tips!

[@GregCookPhotography]

You should, it is so much fun to do

[@TimboToys]

Nicely done 👍🏼

[@walliehernandez7069]

Weathering is such a good technique to add on some figs...I did thee same thing to some of my legends as well...and boy what a difference it makes when you take a picture of it.....it comes out awesome...great VIDEO greg...you ROCK dude

[@GregCookPhotography]

Thank you, I really appreciate that

[@candymanrip]

You did a great job weathering the Storm Trooper, awesome. 👍

[@GregCookPhotography]

Thank you so much

[@garrettthomas896]

This is great!! I did the same thing to my jumptroopers, I took the shoulder pads off of the first order snow trooper and transplanted them onto the shoulders instead of the orange to have solid white jumptroopers.

[@yukejo]

weathering for cheap people: get a simple black or gray sign pen (thin drawing pen is also ok) then put lines on the parts you want the weathering, then put your finger or thumb and rub get a small eraser to clean some stuff up keep on doing that till it's perfect for you.

[@shinsukegaming4146]

Thanks a lot dude! this helped me in weathering my Iron man mark 42 figure now it's movie accurate😀😀

[@johnnypapa4754]

I used to weather my wrestling toys with red paint to make it look like blood. Looked really cool especially around the head area. The blood would go well with horror figures too.

[@SkillLevel0]

Nice job. I have a Black Series Imperial Stormtrooper that I’m gonna try this out on so he fits in with my Mandalorian and The Child figures.

[@davidmcfadden1763]

If Hasbro did that, it would be an "exclusive"! Lol! Would have liked to see a before and after or a side by side comparison. Thanks for the upload!

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

Bob Ross of Star Wars Figurs

[@glusnifr]

great tip ,,looks great

[@GregCookPhotography]

Thank you

[@admiralsnaccbar624]

I dont water down my paint, it just looks more weathered but I dunno what is better

[@jezza9674]

Great video as always, myself I use Vallejo pigments mixed with pigment binder and wash the whole figure in it then I use a damp sponge to dab the mixture off till I'm happy but I will try your method on some rebels.

[@GregCookPhotography]

I will try that as well awesome info

[@zknightman74]

Are you robos (fwoosh) long lost brother

[@halifax3404]

Great video Greg, good technique for photos, you can start lite and finish the shot with them extra dirty, I remember when we would dirty them up just playing outside with them.

[@GregCookPhotography]

Right me as well, if you figure wasn't dirty you didn't play with it lol

[@DrApplesauce]

That was really cool ma!

[@GregCookPhotography]

Thank you so much

[@nolanchicken]

After I’ve weathered a figure if I add a clear coat or a matte finish can I clean the figure without the weathering being removed?

[@AFV85]

Try the vallejo weathering dry pigments I use them for my milarty models and figures there all types of earth sands etc and washes rust wash oil stains grime etc the cheaper way is to get some artist pastels and scrap them for the pigment powder use abit of enamels thinners to bind them to the model figure so don't rub off, I used to use oil paints before splashed out on washes i made my own from cheap oil paint 2 dots in a wee tub with some petrol lighter fluid thins it down to make a perfect wash! The gun metal pigments are great for the weapons and or dry brushing on acrylics use enamels on your figures if your just doing this now and again and don't have an airbrush to add a dull coat there my wee started tips for weathering for you for less than 5 bucks mate and last you a whole enterprise! Haha I know that's star track but hey Darth might invade sometime haha!

[@BastionEmery]

Nice one:) My motto has come to be; ‘Nothing is safe from me, and Nothing is sacred to me.’ So far there’s not much in my collection i haven’t cut, painted, remoulded sections, and generally füct up (*¡ mean artistically designed with châos;)~ in some way with soldering iron, knives, drills, mini saws, hammers, the wall, the ground! > pretty much anything my influential imagination supposedly comes up with. If there’s a competition to see who can cus(f#%^!)tomise the biggest and most expensive action figure around, i think i’m well on way for a placing;)

[@someguy5926]

Does weathering work on matte black because I am looking to get and weather the heck out of a batmobile and add battle damage and scuffs also weather the silver bits

[@DavidSmith-vw5eg]

I might do this , I have a tamyia weathering set and a some washes I use for Star Wars Bandai models

[@GregCookPhotography]

do it you will love it

[@trinityfirec1711]

Anyone have good videos on how to custom paint the Hasbro clone troopers?

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

I wander If do anything line this with your Mandalorian collection?

[@pauricboylan3571]

This looks cool man!!😐

[@GregCookPhotography]

Thank you

[@BastionEmery]

*To my action figures, i am a timely appearance presenting as a god, there to unravel their mysterious soon to be known plot. And they call back to me ‘Nequam Deus in Nobis!’…….. hahahahaha;)

[@gyalis]

I didn’t realise weathering was just a wash

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

i love to dirty up my HemannSction figurs.

[@eF5ive]

I sort of wanna weather my prototype black series Boba but idk yet!!!!

[@GregCookPhotography]

Hmmm it would look great

[@riveruhing2584]

Can you use oil paints?

[@binarysunset6662]

Yes, and it works way better. Just use a suitable thinner, not water.

[@riveruhing2584]

Binary Sunset cool thanks dude

[@dylanboomer]

You should use shoe polish cover the whole thing and dab off with paper towel if your interested in custom stuff look up cosplay chris he does custom collectables

[@GregCookPhotography]

I have used shoe polish as well, it does work great

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]
