I should be receiving Snake in the mail tomorrow and I'm wondering if anyone would point me out on how to weather the jacket and pants, I don't think I'll be content with the clean stock outfit. Thanks!

Tamiya Weather Master powders are the easiest to use, you just apply like makeup does and it washes off if you change your mind.

They come in lots of colours and each palette has three different colours.

Oh thanks, but I'm good with making do with just a mixture of acrylics. I think what I really meant was, was there any sandpaper involved or is drybrushing alone good enough?

I know some have used sandpaper on the jacket. I used an X-Acto knife (very carefully).

Looks great! What parts did you used the knife? The edges of the jacket?

All of it. Anywhere you see it scraped. I found that with the x-acto I had more control over how much and exactly where I wanted material to be damaged.

Just got him an the mail and he's... pretty good(?). I mean, yeah the jacket are a bit clean and the boots are retarded but the head looks very nice! I don't know if it's a batch issue but I'm pretty content with how the head turned out that I'm not planning to repaint him anytime soon. If I knew he was this nice I would have gotten him sooner. :lol

Swapped out the body for a seamless one, much better!

Weathered his jacket by scraping it lightly with a knife then dry brushing with one of those powder weathering kits from Tamiya. Dipped his pants in coffee and also weathered his boots. Really like him.
