28mm Reaver titan

[steders]

Quite literally the biggest pain in the arse of anything I've ever built. Piss poor instructions. I didn't have any warping issues or miscasts that others have complained of but its painful anyway. Completely magnetised.
I am pleased with the outcome although it needs weathering which is scaring me to death, if you cock it up its going to be a nightmare to fix.

Looks great 

Could you try the weathering on a scrap of plasticard that has various bits stuck on it representing the details on the walker?

Looking good, Stedley 

I dread to think what you're going to weather it with though

Hi Steders
Look up Flory washes for weathering.  Aircraft modellers use them.  They are clay based and can be removed with a wet brush if you’re not happy with the result.  Once you are happy a quick matt varnish spray will fix them for handling.

Thanks all, I'll have a look for those weathering washes

Cool beastie, you did a splendid paint job there, no wonder you're worried about weathering.
I don't have any additional suggestions - I like to use weathering powder, but it's not at all easy to remove.
I look forward to see the result - I am building a pair of GW knights and will be facing a similar (but somewhat smaller!) problem too.

I second the Flory washes. I've only used them on model cars and vans, but even there, the ability to just wash them off removes a lot of the stress.

They are quite big bottles, but I imagine that beast will take more than one

If you have access to a 3D printer, perhaps you could practice on something like this?

Nice work Mister Steders, which Legion is it from?

[Cat]

Well then, that puts the Epic in the Titanicus!

Also for consideration, model railroaders use weathering chalks.

Cracking job Steders!

Nice work Steders, now quit faffing and get it finished

[aliensurfer]

Impressive, nice work indeed

 Try Flory Models Clay Wash. Completely fool proof



Easy to remove if you go wrong.
