Hey Guys,

I first learned of this product from Eisenhorn hear on Dakka Dakka. I located the products at Michaels and used their 40% off coupon so it ended up being pretty cheap. Here is a tutorial on how to use these products and THANKS EISENHORN for finding them!

Please take a sec. to tell me what ya think of the technique or results.

Cat

Wow, that is really cool.

Another great vid Catattafish! Definately looks like a worn statue. Looking forward to the rust tutorial!

Very, very cool. Thanks for posting!

Nice

It looks pretty effective, however the "Sophisticated Finishes" products are rediculously expensive in the UK so are really not worth getting unless you churn out a lot of this type of stuff. Pity.

That is a pity, I love the stuff now!

Cat

More bird poo on the head. LOL, sorry couldn't resist. I've already done my statue, but I think it will work great on the broken buildings. I'm stopping by Michael's tonight I think...

Are these bronze and patina finishes solvent based? I'm wanting to do some foam terrain as bronze, but I'm worried it will eat it up.

Whoah!! That stuff is Aewsome!!

I have not tried it on foam as of yet, but I do know that the product does heat up! When I get a chance I will try it out on some foam....

Cat

Fantastic post! Great tut now I want to try this badly! lol

Very cool tut. I will follow this, along with your others.

You Sir must work for these guys. I bought your pitch. Just ran out to Michaels and bought this product. I was able to find both bottles (smaller) on one pack for $11.99 us. I will be using an Inquisitor from the inquisitor game as a bronze statue. I'll post pics in a spoiler on his thread late tonight or tomorrow.

Lols. Nope, I don't work for these guys! Nor do I make one penny off any of this hobby including my youtube page. I am eligible to be a partner for revenue sharing but don't participate in that either. Good luck using the product and I am looking forward to seeing how you make out!!

Cat

Thanks for this, I'll show the club leader in my area this!

TBH I am not sure how to put him into a spoiler window. He came out alright. I ran into trouble with the bronze drying quickly and missing parts that didn't oxidize. Then I went back added more bronze and oxidation agent. I think he got a little too covered... but he can just be extra old and extra corroded.... his plinth is going to be shot up and scorched.

All in all for $12 the amount I have will see a lot of use and considering the paint and patina is essentially fire and forgot (took 5 min of painting) I really cant complain. Its a lot better than taking your time and hand painting weathering.

That looks fantastic dude!! As you can see for yourself now, the product covers extremely well so using the product for this hobby, the bottles will go a LONG way. There is always a learning curve to using a new product and yes it does dry fairly quickly. Thanks for sharing!!

Cat

I used the exact same stuff to do mine a good while back. It is awesome and easy stuff. The Rusted Iron is less great, but the bronze comes in two shades and is really quite awesome. And not terribly expensive, and like you said, covers well and in decent thin layers.

Good video, I think more people need to see that product because on a effort/results basis this stuff ranks high.

Yes its definitely worth it on an effort / results basis. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/30/448561.page I have finished his plinth on my blog page for anyone interested in seeing him finished. Fluff wise I opted not to go with bird poop as the planet this statue was on was nuked a couple thousand years ago and only plant and single celled life has survived the fallout, the imperium has just started to recolonize this lost world.

I've been looking for a good method to oxidation and then i found this. Genius! Kudos to the guy who showed you and to you for putting it up

Thanks Mr Willnaut,

If you use the technique, please share your results so I can see!

It's not the same technique, but you inspired me to do this:



Thanks again

The result is really nice, do you know if the patina is airbrushable? it's giving me really good ideas.

I wouldn't run it through an airbrush as the paint actually has metallic pieces in it (which is how you GW the natural patina) I would be worried about ruining the airbrush.

Wow, that looks super effective! Really tempted to try that on a baneblade, in certain area's, Thanks for the tutorial!

I'm sharing this on facebook. What a great video. I think I am going to have to try this technique. And there's a Micheal's real close to where I live and I'm familiar with that paint brand.

Well that's pretty rockin.'

Thanks for sharing, I'm a huge fan of using stuff like this.

Thanks for the comments guys, it takes a bit of effort to make tutorials so I do appreciate it.

Fenrir, yup, and its fairly cheap too!

Absolutely terrific effect! Thank you for spending the time it took to put that tut' together, very inspiring!
