Damage/Weathering?

[Duran Lomax]

I have a set of Sterilite trash can armor, and Im trying to find a way of giving it dents and scratches without the use of a dremel. I don't have many tools; I guess Im asking for a poor man's method. Can anyone help?

You can use a lighter to get the plastic soft and then put dents in it with something blunt. That is how I did my Fettpride knees.

Thanks; I'll be trying it tonight

Just be careful. It takes only a few seconds of heat to make the plastic soft.

 

[Duran Lomax]

Will do. For the blunt object, how does a broomstick sound? Or should it be something thicker?

 

[Pavespawn]

That is pretty big. I used a rounded tip of a hightlighter cap.

 

[Duran Lomax]

Right on. Thanks for your help!

I would use an end of a modeling file!

I had to heat and dent my FP knees as well. I went outside and found some small stones to use. That way I had slightly odd shaped dents.
