That is the weather effect on my pack, i painted all the part with silver, then black, sanded all the edge and when my pack will be done ill put some fuller’s earth on it, the result is cool.
I like weathering…it brings out the details of the pack when done right, the post above mine is a great example…makes the ridges and armor plate looking pieces add more
I agree, I use a Qtip dipped in aluminum colored paint and dry brush lightly on the edges that look like they would have rubbing contact with things. Mostly subtle, but makes the intricate details of the pack stand out quite well without being intrusive and distracting.
