You need to add some small thin scratches before you blackwash it, it'll bring it to life more ;) .

As requested!




Also, I started working on Shin/calf/ knee plates and finished the set up yesterday, but I'm not fond of how they look. Feedback would be great.

Is the back piece on the calf just Sintra?

PVC actually. Sintra will fold, and almost crumple. Trust me, I tried it. PVC works much better.

Even better!
Lol
I've got some PVC around and I was planning on making wraparound shin armor if I don't like how my halfchaps look.

I used 3 in, and I love my calf plates. But the shins... not so much.

Thanks so much guys!  ;D
I appreciate the support.

In other news, I've been busting my chops on the this morning.



I wasn't wearing the correct pants, but shoulders attached, and gauntlets are wearable!

I replaced my PVC shnee with my Kraam shins, and kept my old knees. Also replaced the buckles with big and beefy ones. They're ugly, but won't give out for anything. The small ones would pop if I flexed my calf. Guess I don't know my own strength....  :rolleyes:








I now have 6 1inch buckles on this kit. 4 more to go. (2 on the other leg, and 2 for the clone thighs)

A taste of what to come!

A new V2 hardpack, a new girth belt, and a net launcher. All still in the works :D



Size comparison: Anyone know what it was? I think this idea was even better than my dustpan.

Re: Byrek's Aquatic Beast Master. Helmet painted
« Reply #141 on: Sep 18, 2012, 11:04 PM »
Today at Goodwill, Advar found a fire place log holder, and said I should make wrap around thighs out of it. Guess what I did.


Front:



Outside: I'll be keeping the "feet" on there to wrap rope around, as it is part of the Beast Master Requirements.



Back: I cut a half circle into the bottom so I can sit and crouch comfortably.



Inside: Held together by a one inch buckle.



I made these out of metal, and for $2.50 vs. the $70 I was going to pay for Pepakura. People, please be creative when at goodwill. I saved myself so much money. 96% actually.



Now onto the helmet:

Clean:









Dirty:












And a showing of the hardpack :D
