Is there somewhere I can set up a poll??

You can set up a poll at the top of the thread.  Look at the right of the screen, above the thread boxes there are a few rectangular buttons with things like "Add Bookmark" or "Add Poll" ect.  Click the add poll button and fill out what it asks for.  Then let er rip.

Knew how to do it, used to be and admin on a forum. Just wasn't sure if I was allowed to in this thread or if I had to create a new thread.

EDIT: Poll added

Option 1: Rebel Pilot


Option 2: Black and Orange


Option 3: White and Blue


Option 4: Combat Green


Option 5: Grey and Red


EDIT 2: First attempt at battle damage. This is a false primer layer so far. Got main colour and detail colour to add. This is just a test plate I am working on not a final build.

Just bumping this to get more votes if possible.

Also after opinions on the battle damaged plate. This is a test plate so testing weathering techniques. So all damage may not be consistent

That damage is really well done,  it's no too much, and it doesn't look like you spend all day on the FOB.

Thanks Vode.  Here is the final bit of painting.

Sprayed black over the false primer layer. Added a detail stripe (this needs practice, paint ran under the masking tape). Just need to weather it a little with some acrylic paint. May add a grey detail stripe along side the yellow (only thin) for practice. Overall fairly chuffed. As they say little is more on the damage front.





Also thanks for the additional votes. It's currently tied between two of them.

For the detail stripe right before you put the paint on, run your finger along the edge of the tape, pressing it down flat (some painters tape will start to come up at the edges).

Thanks. Mental note added. It's cheap tape too, so doesn't stick too well.

Weathering looks good so far. I'd suggest taking some sandpaper of varying grades to it. Since you're using a test plate, you can really go nuts and work out what will give light scuffs, what might have been a heavy fall and what's too much cos you're back to plastic :P

Thanks Vod.

Would I do the scuffs in one scrape of the paper? Or repeatedly in the same place?

Hmmm voting now tied between three...

Think of it as a big walk through a hostile environment. First, you have to go through some bushes, they'll be light, barely there scratches, likely quite small, possibly a few together as many branches and leaves caught you. Although one bush has thorns, so they'll be a little heavier, so use a longer stroke of the paper. And since bushes grow every direction, the scratches wont really have much of a direction to them, unless its on your gauntlets where you've been brushing them aside.

Then you have to squirm under a fence. There are loose stones and gravel there, they'll catch the paint too,  heavier than the greenery, and slightly more uniform, but still, rocks shift so they'll never be all in one exact direction, especially where you had to shimmy sideways to free your rifle stock when it got caught. Again, variety here, some tiny scuffs, just press down with one finger on the paper, others use the palm of the hand to hold the paper to get more width.

Seems somebody saw you coming, you ducked most of the blast though and it was just a few tiny bits of shrapnel that bounced off your armour, was still pretty sharp though, so deep scuffing in random directions. And then more fence, had to cut a hole in this one, pretty sharp edges, try using something like a key to get very thin scratches. I find faster works best with this as making a slow scratch will be rather wobbly.

And don't forget the dust storm which blew up as you ran back to your ship, that'd be very fine grained possibly even a slight swirling as the wind bows the grains about.

And then remember as you move and bend the plates will likely catch on each other, so they may get more wear round the edges. Also things like shins, knees, hand plates and sticky out shoulder bells will likely be a lot more scuffed and dirty than chest plates. While the chest plates would likely have more blaster marks than your shins unless your attackers have been very bad shots.

Don't be afraid to use other things either. I usually take several different sizes of keys, the small hand sized pick that's in the house, the end of a run out pen, wiring if you have any heavier cables - I've got a nice copper one with a scratchy end, various sandpapers, scouring pads... I could probably find more things, but that's just what I could list of the top of my head.

(And for anybody who reads this and is using metal armour - I have a few dents from a 12th century style sword - see, totally random things.)

Thanks got the tips Kris. I'll have a play around with it tonight.

EDIT: Grey detail stripe added. Looking better. Do some more light scratch weathering tomorrow. Then dirt weathing over the weekend.
