Francis Castiglione, AKA Frank Castle, AKA The Punisher... in 1970, as a Navy SEAL in
lcan anyone help me weather a whole figure (face, hands, uniform, weapon), i am developing?
it should be a Nam SEAL, circa 1970, special forces.
actually, there you go with the suggestion:
Francis Castiglione, AKA Frank Castle, AKA The Punisher... in 1970, as a Navy SEAL in Vietnam, special forces.
i won´t post pics of mine, because it would look stupid (and has no weathering at all, yet) next to what you guys present here, but i´d like to see this figure accomplished.
thanks for your time!

Just post it. No one will laugh or call it crummy. This isn't that kind of place.
Besides, if we can't see it, we can't enjoy it as much as you do.
There are some local guys in your AO, Sexto Scala, and they've had exhibitions/gatherings in some places.
They may be able to give you some tips, but for now, here are some accumulated tips to weather your figure: [testing it out on another uniform/gear set/headsculpt is a good idea if you're unsure and want practice]
Wet the uniform, sand it down in the worn areas -knees, bum, folds in the cloth, seams-, maybe use RIT fastfade--use Sgt Hollywood's tutorial/example for this if you're uneasy.
For the face, use some water colours or real camo cream and apply it--darken the peaks and lighten the hollows--
Then go back through with markers and pastels and work them into and out of the uniform, blending it out from the usual areas that see the most wear/muck: knees, butt, the bottom of the trousers, and seams as well as pockets/flaps etc.
The easiest way for that--and since it's Vietnam--mix some red pastel with dirt/sand and just make a lil pool of reddish muck. Then dry brush it onto him. This way, if you don't like it, you can probably wash it off. But test it out first, in case the red stains.

i still have issues to understand some stuff (painting is awful hard), but i will work on it..
thanks
