Looks good so far. How's it fit?  Also your weathering plan sounds intense. Gonna be a lot of paint :P. You should probably tested it out on a scrap piece first to see if you really need the extra silver layers.
What are you planning to use for masking agent?

It fits well, just have to reshape one of the "wings" to curve abit more around my thigh.
And yeah, I've reconsidered it. I'm only going to double up the outer layers of paint so the masked off damage has some depth.
And I use masking fluid. Its good, but smells funky.

Thanks vod. :)
I've got a question.
My main colors are going to be  dark gray and a dark, rusty red with copper accents.
So I was wondering, for the undercoat that shows up beneath the topcoat like Boba's chipping.
Should I make it the rusty red or black? The main coat btw is dark gray.
And I'm still deciding whether painting my shoulders and knees copper with red accents of red with dark grey accents.
And I'm planning for the helmet to be dark gray with either a copper or rusty red brow trim and I'm unsure about the kill stripes and designs on the helmet.
So some help with the paint scheme would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Here's my first test piece painted up.
There's a little screw up in the middle but I'll fix that with black wash and whatnot.
Let me know what you think!

Looks good! I'm not a huge fan of the consistency of the weathering being all around the plate, but it's good!

Well here is the test plate, all finished up and weather. Even drybrushed some of the edges.
I dont think I did too bad for my first plate! :P

Oh! And threw in a little mud/rust too!

Thanks Remo!
Just got my half chaos today, they were supposed to be black but they came in brown, oh well. I dont think they look too bad with my color scheme though..
Any who, they're suede, does anyone know an effective way to weather suede?
