To do the initial weathering on my Freddy hat, sweater, pants and shoes, I used a creme brulee propane torch and very lightly heat and scorched areas. Worked excellent on the edges, but was a bit too small for doing the larger areas of the pants and sweater. It did give an accurate burned look since it was actually burning. The key is to heat it without doing massive damage. And also be careful not to make it look too "purposefully random" and spotty.Overall, I think the effect is pretty great and will be touching the rest of it up with some faux painting techniques for more variance. Also, with actually burning/scorching -- you get a nasty burnt smell. Not too pleasant, but probably close to how a character like Freddy actually smelled. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
