[Kuel]

Olarom, vode.
The name is Kuel Ha'rang - I am a long time lurker who finally decided to go OM. This is not my first (or even second) armor, I've even tried to get the OM status before - sadly, without any success. Now I decided to do it properly. Below you can see some photos of my progress so far.
This post will be mainly hard parts as I am working on them as I write this. Next posts should cover soft parts and accessories - some of them I already have from my previous builds, some are being modified.
Any tips and feedback will be highly appreciated. Vor'entye.

Here are the plates - pretty standard 5mm sintra, templates from the Dented Helmets forum, already shaped and primed black:



Helmet - 3D print using AprilStorm files. Sanding process already finished, then primed black and then silver base paint:





In the meantime I tried it on with a visor attached:



Right now I am finishing sanding gauntlets - also 3D prints from AprilStorm:

Looking good so far.

clean work on that helmet!

Thank you for kind words, vode! It's time for a small update.
I was a little concerned that it will be harder to maintain a clean work on those gauntlets, but I think they came out pretty nice:


All the plates received first layer of silver - below you can see all them along with some soft parts.
Flight suit is there too, just didn't make it to photo.


In the meantime I am slowly finishing helmet - painting is almost done as I have already started working on weathering. Here are a couple of photos from the process.
Decided to paint jaig eyes by hand rather than using decals and fortunately it paid off!;)

Quick update as satine clear coat dried on a helmet and I call it done. Gotta say I'm super stoked for how it came out! 



Now I can fully focus on other stuff - plates are also near to finish, all black washed and weathered. Gauntlets coming right up.



Also, those pics had me realise that I've never posted any project insight - here it is.
FYI, the main color is RAL5003.



Next post there will be more soft parts for sure!
