I'll look into it, probably won't weather it though as I'm not weathering the rest of the armor. Like I understand the concerns but I'm not sure how to address it without compromising what I want to do.

I think what it needs is some purple. Leave space in the design for your clan logo, of course, but I do agree with Jorad that it seems bare. Are you actually painting your white plates or is that the sintra?

[Hulahooper]

I did paint the chest/ab plates because I wanted to match the texture of the bird but honestly the stark white color I wanted for my palette is actually the same exact shade as the sintra. I could paint them, but they would most likely look the same as they do now. I could paint them purple but I didn't originally intend them to be purple. And it's not really an option for me to just paint part of the gauntlet. I was basically gonna cover the whole thing with my clan logo.

really Rough Sketch (I can't freehand the Wampa logo but you can google it if you wanna see it better) [thsi would be done like the bird as a raised second layer



And I guess I could just do the other one but I feel like that would be worse because it would draw attention to the plain one? Idk

[Kavryn Falco]

What about a purple band at the top and bottom?  Nothing fancy, maybe just an inch or two wide. That would show that you'd painted it, while still leaving room for the sigil.

I think for now I'm gonna table the issue of my gauntlets because I'm not sure where to go there and I have other things to work on, while I think about what I want to do.
Today I worked up my left shoulder plate. I still have a little more final sanding (especially to clean up a little excess epoxy) but it's mostly there.

I love carved and layered sintra.
Good work.

Lyra, check out Demios Ordo. He had a legecy build back in 2013 and had these sintra roll gauntlets that looked really good. He may have a template for them, if it's not on his WIP. Don't worry, gauntlets are always the most frustrating part of a build.

It's been a while since I made a post, a combination of insecurity and schoolwork slowed my progress.
But I've gotten it decent for Halloween.



Sorry you can't see the bottom half really well it's hard to get a person to take the pics up at college so I do the best I can with Mando selfies.

That looks really good bud! Good to see it all together!!
