Question about weathering

[Reyno]

How and what do you use make blood look realistic on 1:6 clothes and hands

I use the transparent Tamiya red. The real trick though is putting some distilled water or a few few drops of Mr. Color thinner on the surface to be "bloodied up" first. Sandy and I do a lot of bloody, battle damaged figures. What you wanna do is put the water on FIRST, then take a tiny bit of the red and dab it into the water-- watch what happens. You should get a very natural effect, as opposed to the blood looking "plasticy" or painted on. Sweat and the natural oils in your skin, build up and when blood is drawn in battle, it will usually take the path, if you will, of the sweat or what have you. A little goes a long way here-- give it a try.

If you're having trouble, let me know-- I'd be happy to do a little demo video for you.

Really? that be great. And thank you also how do you put sweat stains on clothes

 

[Cmonster]

Sure-- I'll have Sandy shoot a quick vid for you. Regarding the sweat-- I would say Liquitex Acrylic Gel Medium, if it's dark. If it's something pale, believe it or not, I use tea.

This is what I use. It works great. Granted I havent really used it for blood soaked fabric or clothing yet.

I did and it works fine

Of course, a little spit works great! Saliva and paint have always had-- interesting reactions with each other...
