Thanks y'all!
Sweet Sassy Molassy! I really like what you did for that style of weathering, subtle yet intense. Not distracting, but speaks volumes to the kit! Would you be able to PM me/post here/tell me where to go to find out what to do to get that effect? I'm going to do something like that to my plates when I make them.
After a coat of silver, use a brush and dab on the masking fluid. Let it dry and paint the color over it. I use the back side of sand paper to rub it off, then follow it by a blackwash. After that I sand it a bit to get some nice scratches.
Yes, at last she is done!! Got this approved two days ago.
Here's some detail shots of the kit's pieces:
Gauntlets were made from cups, my clanmate, Keyascuro gave me the idea. I got four for 2 bucks, pretty sweet deal. 8) After that it was simply cutting off the bottom and putting some sintra together. Fits great and you don't have to worry about a hinge, just slide on and off.
Used WOF templates for the knees, and I still need to make some knee darts.
"Borrowed" my sister's old J2P helmet.
Y'all have no idea how much of a fight this thing put up. Finally got it to work, but sadly the tabs connecting to the collar weren't sitting right and had to be cut off.
I do intent on adding more detail to these.
All soft parts have been weathered. (Except the neckseal).
This is the first belt I put on, then I put a thick brown leather belt over it with my other pouches. I tried this setup for the first time Saturday, and it worked great!
Some full kit shots:
Only upgrades planned are: details to shin tools, small wookie braids, and knee darts.
All comments/critiques are welcome!
