Weathering Plastic to look like Metal

Join King Street General Manager Ian Chapman as he takes you through transforming a 3D-printed plastic mask into a weathered, metal masterpiece. Ian’s expertise in weathering techniques comes from years of working with steampunk aesthetics, 50’s sci-fi influences, and an array of creative inspirations-from retro toys to the surreal cartoons of Gary Larson. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to give your own 3D-printed creations a worn, metallic look.
Known for his love of robots and otherworldly landscapes, Ian’s work can be found in galleries across New Zealand. Whether you’re a fan of futuristic art or just looking to add depth to your DIY props, this video has plenty to offer.
