Kelsey Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Hi everyone!I know there are things to fix. So far I can see that I need to level out my boxes, fix the lining of my pouches, lengthen my cod strap, and trim my helmet some more. I also still need to put padding in my helmet, but I was so excited to have the finish line in sight that I wanted to take pics of my first full test fitting. Well scouts, let me have it! What else needs some work? 1
Guest Forrest Patrol Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Left pouch looks a little too close in to me, TD rectangular piece is upside down & if you're going for weathering add a few more blaster scorches and grade the black marks into the armour but overall looking good 1
Guest Forrest Patrol Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Add some Velcro to the triceps to stop them slipping down 1
Kelsey Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 I know about the TD haha noticed a week ago, but haven't turned it yet; used the wrong scout as reference Forgot to add it to the above list! And the pics came out very white when I compressed them. It is weathered, went with a light muddy/grimy look. I'll attempt grading the blast marks more. I'll take a better one of the arm more tomorrow. With a single pic, I won't have to compress it as much to make 500k. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Kelsey Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 Oh and yes, Velcro! I have it on my forearms, better add to biceps too. I didn't sew the bottom Velcro on my cummerbund to fully attach the pouches as I wasn't sure of placement. Seeing pics and hearing feedback helps with that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Kelsey Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 Took this with my phone just now. You can see a bit of the weathering better here. Do you think it should be graded more than that? How would you recommend going about it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Guest Forrest Patrol Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I think if you use an airbrush with grey enamel first (let it streak just a bit more so looks like a grazed/just missed shot) then add the black enamel blast mark. There are probably a lot of ways to do it and I haven't done it myself but I think airbrush spraying is the way to go. Best to find a weathered trooper and ask them really. 1
