The effect is terrific.  They look just as if they had been underwater for years.

 :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

And your laboratory set-up is superb.  So realistic.

May we have more pictures of it, please, including an overview of the whole structure?  And where did the little tracked vehicle come from?

Very nice work Alizobil!

A problem for movie makers has always been aging costumes and props. Weapons and armour can be particularly tricky.

A friend of mine who started out with models, miniatures and fantasy art was (last I heard) working for movie makers, producing and aging armor (he helped produce the armor for Troy). He was particularly adept at the various processes for "distressing" armor and weapons.

I think you might have a future in making props and models for the movies, if that interests you.

I enthusiastically agree with Damo, Karim, Gordon, Panos, Martin and Baden ... your "aging" technique is stunning!

Is it possible to show us how you did it?

Aizobil, thank you very much for sharing your wonderful customs with us!

All the best,
Richard
