Dakota19250 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I caught the bug after admiring the look for a while now. I recently purchased a helmet and made modifications to make sure it fell within the CRLs. And since this girl started costuming as a Mando I figured I would go for a sightly more weathered look. Mind you I am still weeks away from having my armor from 850. But hey you have to start some where so I started with the But'ce. I already have the nod from my GMLs to for the weathering as long as the remainder matches when it is time to submit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota19250 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 I got my E-22 done, I know the wrong screws are used but my M-3s are lost in the mail someplace and I have a horrible time leaving anything unfinished. I will replace them and weather them when they show up, I have also learned I should have my armor in hand in the coming week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkydinki Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Rockin' on putting that armor together! Love the weathering on the helmet. Looking forward to seeing your finished build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota19250 Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 A bit more progress today. I still need to do my airbrush weathering, get everything strapped up and mounted then I will be on the verge of finished. Still waiting on proper greebs for the back left panel but I can add those in when they come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScaryGuy Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Almost there! One thing that is noticeable is that your shoulder buckles are too high, they should be aligned with the end of the collar. The blue areas below the buckles are not rectangles but taper down to the edges. Your blue paint is also glossy which should be matte, a clear coat could fix that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
