 :o Looks so cool, I told you you'll make it good!

Are you still planning to do the sunrise look?  I would love to see it ending up with the colorscheme you came up with. :)

Thanks!
I'm not sure, how I should do the sunset.. not good enough with colours.
Don't remember who I talked to lately, but someone from JG said I should do the phoenix on the chest. Maybe that one in burning sunset colours? But still: Don't know how to reach the faded colours.

I can help you with that. I did a sunrise look to one of my guitars with normal spraypaint.

O.O yeeees please!


For the overall gold look, I've found a good visual reference for what I think Niabi ment. Will use a steel brush and one of those metal wire pot cleaner thingies for it.



Besides that, these two ideas crossed my mind. I'm at a creative low at this time, so I tried to recreat what I thought of first in paint.
@Nirob: Do you think the phoenix could be done with the sunrise colours? Just the bird, not that stuff around. Or with? Not sure about it.

Version 1: Clear lines, strong colours



Version 2: Phoenix in sunrise colours

Looking good!

I think if you want to add the clan sigil, especially that size, it should go on the backplate not the chestplate.

Thanks for the input!
Hmm... if I do it smaller? Wanted it in the front, because I thought of adding a cape.

Yes, certainly smaller would work. I'd say maybe 4" tall. In fact at that size you could do that as well as the red.

Smaller - noted.

About the red.. I'm not sure if I should do both, could be too much?

First try griming everything up.

Light's not the best, it's either too dark or the flash takes away all of the dirt. So, for comparison, more pictures.


Top: inside - without grime
Bottom: outside - with grime


knees.. shot with flash


all four parts, shot with flash

Thank you :).
Funny thing about the scratches: Those were in there before I even tried with the brush. Tried to make additional ones on the inside, but they looked to parallel.
Still trying to figure out how to achieve these.. mh.. stains? Don't know how to call it. These... generally darker areas, as if the material has been rubbed to many times (as in the reference picture).

And aye, smaller crest!

Didn't have the mind to write on with my essay, soo instead I worked some more on the armour.

Again, the light bulb creates a very strange light, flash takes some more out.

Comparison:

with flash


without flash


All further pictures without flash:

The weathering is looking real good, quite realistic now.

 ;D You've made a tired student very happy, sirs!

My boyfriend suggested to highlight the battle damage a bit more, because now it's mostly covered up. The wash stuck way better (should have known..) on the silver acrylic that was the base for the damage then on the spray paint.
Should I do so? With bright silver? Darker silver (aka mixed with black)?

the way i see it the damage is lower than the Undamaged parts so the grime would wipe off the undamaged bits and stick more in the recess of the damage ;)

It's as if you're always hanging behind him, staring over his shoulder.. o.O

And aye, thanks you two. So no more highlighting the damage.
Maybe I'll add a dash of red tomorrow (need only to decide to do the crest or the highlight in the front).

I concur on both, as well.

That's because I am.

Damn you, Zippy!

But both? Wouldn't that be a bit much, especially because it would be on top of each other?
