No headackes Mike ;)

But before you drop a "bomb" check back with me for some details.

 

Can't await to see your complete set of hard pieces in colour.

Oh man applying all the colour must be a time consuming part of the whole

process.

 

OT

As we speak of soft parts - do you have any news regarding the

project of Jason?

Mike,

 

I am blown away by you work. It is truly a work of art. I can already see from the posts listed here

that there will be a long list. If you indeed do decide to make a BARC armor kit with helmet, please add me to the list.

Thanks,

 

Jim (DT)

The problem I have now is ...

 

I want to say something incredible about your work but I'm lost for words.

 

That is pure-prop-porn.

 

Do you use a real buckle system for the strapping or is it glued on?

I love the paint job on all the parts except the chest. I don't know what it is, but I just the colors kinda clash...

 

I could barely paint my own helmet, so I just need to shut my trap.

Too much brown maybe in the upper left section (as you look at it)?

 

LMK more specific info would be appreciated if changes need made.

I can't wait to get my hands on this stuff. Looks great. In your estimation

when will the entire armor set be available?

The set would come unpainted, ...correct?

 

OMG is not big enough to compliment your artistic genious. You and MonCal are about the best armorers I have seen. The question is production. Can you pull off mass production (small "mass" as in BSN and 501st) or is this going to be entirely limited edition?

Just a little green up near the straps would even out the colors and make it look really good. I hope I didn't insult you, because I know I can't even paint a freakin' smiley face with an airbrush...

The good thing is that Mike is open to critiques - from day one he was aksing for it

and has worked with the people.

I'm really gratefull that he has given us the chance to participate on that level.

You know some artists can be quite difficult when it comes to critiques :)

 

I'm still curious about the strapping *hint* ;)

Nah !!! not insulted at all - not one bit B)

This is what makes things better - be honest and brutal if need be, I welcome all ideas and participation.

 

I can add some green up there - I thought it was too brown as well, it's just my eyeballs are going wacko doing all this camo LOL :blink:

 

Thanks for the info, I can fix it prior to weathering and clear coating -

Wow, that's great work!

-You are probably making the best authentic BARC trooper armor I have ever seen.

I can't wait to see the complete body-shot of it. How much money does the set cost if are you gonna offer for sale anyways?

Mike,

That stuff is pure artwork.... :o

I can't wait to see in person.

BTW, are you going to put together a painting tutorial?

Any idea when you might start selling hard armor?

I do plan on doing a small run for the folks here who want to make costumes. I'm also speaking with someone who has a industrial vac former for quality pulls but this is "down the line" still in the preliminary stages.

 

I'd love to paint a few sets for folks interested but this would have be very limited considering the type of paint up this is.

 

There is also a nasty rumor floating around that one of my helmets is currently headed overseas to be recasted, if this is the case the run will be very limited indeed.

I know crying about recasters is a moot point - but I will take steps to protect my hard work.

Well I think whatever happens your quality and origin will remain uncontested.

Things happen but there will always be people who know where stuff is coming from and appreciate the

pioneer spirit.
