Weathered cloths

[ArrogantPycho]

Quick question for the customizes out there: what's the best way to go about weathering 1/6 cloths? I have a some what large collection (three) of Rick grimes figures that are all totally clean... Does that seem right to you? No, of course it doesn't! Anyway, I was thinking along the lines of dry rushing his jeans to give him a warn, dusty look. What do you guys think? I'd love some ideas. Permanent ways to mark his jeans, I don't want it to rub off when I'm posing him.


Thanks!

Oh, and by the way, I don't actually know if this is the right area of the forum to post such a query. So feel free to move this post if need be, not that you need my permission.

For his shirt, I weathered it with sandpaper and needles to get it looking frayed and worn. I also used heavily watered down black acrylic paint to make the sweat stains. They're under his pits and on his back too. For the jeans, I literally took dirt and brushed it on there. The bottom of his pants have some lightly dry brushed "mud" paint on them as well. For the holes, take a needle and just work the hole bigger and bigger. If you poke from the inside out, it looks more realistic. Lightly sandpapering the knees and pocket areas help too.

That looks pretty cool, I'll give some of your methods a try.

Cheers!
