Fake patina / color change
on: April 27, 2021, 04:58:51 PM
Hi fellow knights!
I love alox but I always found it lacks a little sex appeal... I recently got my Farmer X and wanted to make it looking a bit more "rugged".
Wife's nail polish + sandpaper later, my new sak smells woman but looks waaaaaay sexier!  :D

If you don't have the right equipment for the job, you just have to make it yourself.

Thanks! I still need to do some detail scrubbing around the shield & rivets, the finish is still a little rough  :)

Just insert the photos in your post instead of linking to some shady image hosting website with a million smurfing ads.
You should seriously visit vicfan.com. All the hoopy froods are doing it.

Sorry for that! I tried to use the [img] but it did not work.
If anyone can pm me the way to do I'll be glad to use it next time  ;)

Instant weathering. Great finish, looks really authentic.

Just use the attachments section below the txt box when pairing and use choose file to select the image you want
to use - take note of the size restrictions though :0)
