I know many of you are building pepakura packs, which is pretty neat (though FAR too tedious for me to ever consider trying). I came across an article by Make Magazine yesterday on the topic that I thought was worth a read: [http://blog.makezine.com/2012/11/09/prop-building-with-pepakura-and-papercraft/](http://blog.makezine.com/2012/11/09/prop-building-with-pepakura-and-papercraft/) Especially interesting was his use of… MUSTARD… to do his weathering. Check it out! ---

Having not read the article yet, I want to say that I’ve recommended mustard as a tool for weathering several times throughout the forum. ---

pfft. actually i just looked to make sure, and it looks like my only mention of it is here. i use it so often to weather it feels like i talk about it all the time. i swear i mentioned it in my pep build thread. whups. i have a few projects coming up that i’ll be weathering with mustard and could do a walk through that actually shows it’s usefulness than what was shown in this article. ---

I keep having to stop myself from making another pep pack. But it’s REALLY relaxing to do the paper work part. Sent from my DROID X2 using Ghostbusters Fans on Android ---

I can see it now. Prop builders will be driving around in their Rolls Royces’ and pulling up to each other and asking for Grey Poupon. ---

That would be really awesome. I was disappointed by how little they talked about the weathering. Would love to see it step by step, or something. It’s a pretty basic article, I just thought it was worth posting since I know a good deal of people on here were doing it. ---

I first heard of mustard weathering when looking into making a Boba Fett helmet, and I’ve since used it for all kinds of things. It’s some good stuff; basically just a cheap liquid mask. Lay down a silver base coat and dab on mustard where you don’t want your top coat to stick, then wipe clean once it’s dry. ---

Wipe clean with soap…mustard will leave a residue…so if you dont want to deal with it spend cash on masking fluid… this is also something i discovered while looking into building a boba fett. That helmet ended up being a custom mandolorian though. I cant bring myself to use mustard on my bobamaker bucket. Its cool pep is getting more attention…you can build anything with it Sent from my DROID RAZR using Ghostbusters Fans on Android ---

I’m sorry buy I can’t work with mustard…it is my mortal enemy since I was little.
