BikerScout007 Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 I've been slowly gathering up the soft goods over the past year or so, but now I have finally plunked down for some armor. My awesome Sean Fields' helmet, built by Tom Wykes, just arrived today, and my armor should be coming next month. This is what I've got so far Helmet: Sean Fields, built by Tom Wykes Armor: Imperial Surplus f/k/a KW Designs Belt: Me, but using Rob Kittell's belt buckle. Hip armor: Me, using Seantrooper's v3.4 pattern. Gloves: Endor Finders Boots: Orca Bay Havana Pants: No idea, they were given to me. Probably get something more SA in the future Shirt: Imperial Boots Weapon: Sean Fields E-22, 3D printed Paints used: Base coat: Rustoleum Ultra Cover Paint & Primer - Satin Dark Walnut Armor and helmet: Montana Gold Sahara Beige Red bicep: Toyota Super Red 2 (same as 3E5) Blue on chest and arm armor: Kevin Weir's special blend, based on a paint chip of the Ford Nordic Blue Yellow: Montana Gold Shock Yellow 3

BikerScout007 Posted July 26, 2018 Author Posted July 26, 2018 And now for some flat black. I haven't glued the visor or snout on yet, just set them in place for this pic
BikerScout007 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Posted July 30, 2018 Had a lot of spare time this weekend. Now this thing is starting to look like a helmet!
BikerScout007 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Posted August 5, 2018 My phone wasnt really capturing how dirty this thing actually is 2

BikerScout007 Posted October 8, 2018 Author Posted October 8, 2018 Hit up some pieces with a walnut brown base coat 2
StormyStormtrooper Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Looking good! I will be watching this thread closely, 1
BikerScout007 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Posted October 17, 2018 This is the paint I used for my base coat, in case anyone is interested. It goes on real nice and easy. 1
BikerScout007 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Posted December 23, 2018 Finally got a chance to get back on this. Decided to tackle the bicep armor. I cut some notches out of the lower piece so they would fit together better. I assembled each bicep differently. On one I used scrap abs and abs cement to put them together. It worked but I found the process time consuming and not very neat.So for the other I used 3M double sided tape! I'll see which holds up better Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk 2
BikerScout007 Posted December 24, 2018 Author Posted December 24, 2018 Little bit of painting today! I used Kevin Weir's blue he had made for his kits and Toyota red on the bicep. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk
BikerScout007 Posted December 24, 2018 Author Posted December 24, 2018 I went 12mm on the top black line, 40mm on the white and 10mm on the bottom blackSent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk 1

mr paul Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 20 hours ago, BikerScout007 said: Oh I forgot to ask -- any recommendations on that? It might be worth looking into this range of ageing sprays that are available stateside called Movie Paint. They look to be similar to the Dirty Down products found in the UK. The colour range looks to be quite limited however the Rottenstone colour may be a grey. Might be worth investigating further. Also it was confirmed the the Dirty Down grey was sprayed over the Nordic Blue but I would be surprised if it was limited to just that particular area. I suspect the Dirty Down grey and dark brown were used all over the armour but not to excess. A matt black was also used to dirty up the armour and once again I suspect it was used all over judging by looking at reference closely. Here is the link to Movie Paint product. Let me know how you get on with it if you proceed as I have been eyeballing it for a while now and was wondering if it is the same kind of thing as the DD. https://www.specialeffectsunlimited.com/product/movie-paint/ 1
