Josh, I also use chalks to weather with. They are inexpensive and effective. There are two things I must suggest that I haven't seen mentioned. First, be careful what you buy when it comes to chalks. In many art supply stores the chalks and artist's pastels are sold in the same section. What you want is chalk that is dry to the touch. If you pick up a stick that has a somewhat oily feel to it, thats a pastel which really won't work as well. The second thing is to wa***he models in warm soapy water, rinse, and let air dry. Minimize the amount of handling (pick up and hold by edges or inside ) or use rubber gloves prior to using the dullcoat or chalk. Otherwise you could see oversized fingerprints on your models. <br /> Good luck.
