I know it's been a while since my last post here, it's been a rough year to say the least...
But recently I have moved into a new house with a full workshop in the basement and I have begun to work on my kit once again.
To begin with, I had gotten most of the plates ready for painting.
My Custom Bucket
My Chest Plates/Shoulders
My Legs
After lots of prep work, I painted the entire kit with an aluminum metallic base coat. Then I used rubber cement to create weathered areas.
Painted a second coat over that using a matte black primer. Once again I added more rubber cement to the weathered areas.
After those coats, I continued my paint job using a custom slate blue I had mixed and a bronze metallic.
Hours after everything dried I went back and removed the rubber cement to show the massive amount of weathering I had added to the armor.
I decided not to add any physical scarring because it view this to be Beskar and as such it should not be easily scratched beneath the surface.
I did add what appears to be a large dent from a high powered blaster in my back plate.
I want my kit to look like I've been through years of combat in harsh environments, causing my paint to wear heavily and I plan on weathering my soft parts equally as well. I have yet to do the fine detail work nor the black wash and drybrushing to finish the paint job. But I thought I should update my post here with my work in progress.
My Bucket
My Chest plates
My Shoulders
My Backplate
My Legs
And Lastly, my test fitting of the plates
I still have more work to do, but I think I am on the right path. Let me know if you see anything I am missing.
Also, I have hand made my own custom Blaster Pistol from Urethane Foam (Hard Foam) and Metal.
As I said, any advice is appreciated as this is my first kit.
