Mandalorian Protector WIP .
« on: Oct 16, 2010, 07:19 AM »
I got paint on the armour today with my youngest son James's (Rel toi Skirata)  help ,also built the knee's , just need to wait on the glue curing , still to work on the bucket , The paint is finished , ive just to weather it and add the sigil's etc .





The pics are after the first coat , i put down three coats and the finish came up nice , I painted the shin and thigh armour , but i dont know whether i will wear it yet  ,The colour on the shoulder's look's alot brighter than it actually is , Im pleased with the result so far .Ive still to work on the new gauntlet's too and still to get some greeblies together , hopefully get some more done mid-week , comments welcome  ;D

The lighting on the pic is poor , it's so much better in real life  ;D

Oh no, I can see that ner'vod (rofl!) but, same exact thing happens to me when I try to use a paint touch up pen for surface work instead of just touch up.

If you can, try to find a glass that's about the same diameter as the circle of gold, mask the whole thing off with masking tape, place the glass over it and use a razor knife to cut the cirle off exposing the sigil but protecting the plate. Then use a 400-500 grit wetsand to lightly buff it out/smooth it out. You can even go over that with 1000 afterwards if you want. Then black wash the sigil, clean it up and remove the tape, Should be good to go.

  Most impressive!  Do you already have a matching bucket?  And what weapons are you planning on pairing with this kit? Or am I jumping too far ahead in my excitement?  :-[
