Help weathering 1/6 Indy jacket!

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new to customizing 1/6 scale figures, so I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to weather the ROTLA Indy jacket.

Start by wetting it and scrunching it up in a ball. I wet mine and shoved it in a shot glass overnight. It gave it some nice wrinkles and character. You can dry brush the jacket with tan acrylic paint if you like or use pastels. One other option is to use Fullers Earth which is available at costume shops or on Toddscostumes.com. This is powder used by film companies to "dirty up" clothing and hats. Hope this helps.

Take it outside and rub it in the mud.

And when you go to sell, be sure to let us all know.

This works. I did this and left it outside in the summer where the sun could get at it for a couple of days.

There's a documentary on one of the DVD's about how they achieved the look in real, might help so i thought id say

I weathered my jacket using a mix of nutmeg brown and white latex paint, applied with a cotton swab. I found a reference photo to look at for guidance. Generally, the seems and edges of the jacket will have a greater degree of wear and should be painted as such. Sorry the photo I took is not the best. Only had a cellphone camera at the time. Good luck!

You can then throw it in the Washing Machine.....for a really cool look!
