Just an idea for the trophies, no idea yet if I can do it yet, need to find some parts
The kill stripes idea... I was looking at helmet the other night thinking about what needs to be done

[The Unknown Mando]

Been along time since I've really painted anything...decided to see how the airbrush is working, resprayed the jet pack...just started to experiment with the weathering, applying some decals...mixing the ESB and Rotj/ pre pro up abit. Going to add a few more, need to paint the piano teeth.....a lot more weathering....improve what's there too.

looking good mate. 

[The Unknown Mando]

Thanks mate.
Any suggestions for the thrusters colour? Sort of thinking a metal colour ...same as the tanks

[Breyo Fey]

I like the idea of metal thrusters...
Maybe with some metal scorch discoloration (blues, black and grey, etc.)
I can’t wait to see what’s next

Sounds pretty cool...I might have to give it a go. Got a few paints around that might work
I can't wait to see it either  ....

[The Unknown Mando]

Bit more weathering done...more to be done yet especially the bottom of it , finished putting on decals. Next up will be thrusters and side cylinders being painted a metal colour...hopefully get time this afternoon to experiment
Next few things to play with

[The Unknown Mando]

Sort of progress...checking out piano keys, currently placed in a strip of masking tape while painted...loosely placed
Thinking of painting them same colour as right gauntlet...need to still paint the bottom part of shell. Thinking of painting the large collar at base of rocket the same collar as well

Haven't tried any metal painting yet, been a bit busy with work, and some minor renovations

[The Unknown Mando]

Been mucking around with a bit of colour on the jetpack bits
Maybe a little too orange...😕 Ignore overspray too 

Maybe some blue added to the sonic beam weapon, few small bolts...stainless or brass

[Fenn Beviin]

Really digging that orange! Looks great and yes, very orange for sure haha but nothing a little of your great weathering can't fix 

[The Unknown Mando]

Yeah, it’s needs to be knocked back abit... sort of looks like it would blend in with the old marvel comics

[Breyo Fey]

I really like the orange also...
It's a great contrast to the green on the pack and the black on the tools.
Can't wait to see more!

[The Unknown Mando]

Thanks mate, I do like the orange on the black...have to fix some overspray, the orange was a custom mix. Was going for a more yellow-orange look.
With the jetpack and trying to do a metal look on thrusters...I reckon I might try a darker metal look. I think a darker shade would help bring colours together

[The Unknown Mando]

Little bit more . Just the one side at this stage...may add a little bit more

[Breyo Fey]

Very nice!
The blue is a fantastic choice with the orange and black.

Thanks mate,  I saw a pic on dented helmet or may have been delucks designs. There was an old pic of one of the shin tools with a blueish decal ...got idea from that.
Going to have try work in some weathering, and a few things I hope to work on next few days...

[The Unknown Mando]

First little bits of weathering done, needs a lot more work, more layers, removing some masking lines and fine tune

[The Unknown Mando]

Getting a little bit done this morning.
Starting to paint the chest plates, add some latex....see how it'll look

Bit more weathering on sonic beam weapon, and sanding smooth the Kast style grenades

[jett drexel]

Good to see some colour on the plates, few more layers to go....if the paint lasts, if not, it maybe another long wait
