Lonescout Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 No, need to letting this Armor rest in a box with all the excitement with the new Kashyyyk armor. I started to paint again and hope the soft parts follow with the progress of the Sci-Fire armor. Those that have this armor never forget it. Just paint it!
Billhag Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Angelo Thats looking really good mate, have you started on the chest and back yet? And did you manage to get one of Mikes / Jasons helmets? Keep those pictures coming PLEEEEEEESE
Acrylikhan Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Great Job! I can't wait to start my Jason-pghfett set, (once I finish my Biker Scout!)
Lonescout Posted November 20, 2008 Author Posted November 20, 2008 Angelo Thats looking really good mate, have you started on the chest and back yet? And did you manage to get one of Mikes / Jasons helmets? Keep those pictures coming PLEEEEEEESE Everything has been boxed up and the front plate was already sanded, bondoed, and primed. I have not touch the back plate yet. I need to do this next so I can match the front and back plate. I spoke to Jason about the bucket. I don't have funds yet, I hope to soon. Anyone want to help the needy toward my bucket fund. I may be the only original Barc/Kashyyyk. Too many projects on my plate right now! My main concern is the shin(lower leg parts) and toe piece. I think Mike made the molds but never produced any? I may have to mix match pieces if Sci-Fire offers pieces separately once they create their costume.
Billhag Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I'm in a reverse situation, I've got one of Mikes helmets but no bloody armour
darthnova Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Good job!!! I want to see a finished BARC Trooper!!!
Lonescout Posted November 23, 2008 Author Posted November 23, 2008 awsome can not wait. It was nice meeting you this weekend at the parade!
Guest Bubba Kenobi Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 It was nice meeting you this weekend at the parade! Me too Angelo look forward to seeing trooping again real soon. Will let you know went there is next cook out/ Armor party. If you need to get us email is chl@gate.net Bubba
Lonescout Posted December 4, 2008 Author Posted December 4, 2008 More Pics! I have to bondo and have sanding to do on the back plate. Front and back plate are aligned, it does not look like it in the pic due to the far strap was coming undone. After all the green and brown is painted I will go back and add the Desert Yellow and touch up certain areas.
Guest Bubba Kenobi Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Angelo this is looking great keep posting. Bubba
Acrylikhan Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Sweet work! Are you gentle heating the sections and slowly bending them back into alignment?
Lonescout Posted December 8, 2008 Author Posted December 8, 2008 Sweet work! Are you gentle heating the sections and slowly bending them back into alignment? Of course, I don't want to here "CRACK"....Question: Once FG is painted can it still be heated and shaped?
Lonescout Posted December 29, 2008 Author Posted December 29, 2008 Backplate Pics....I may need to add some more paint since this is a huge piece to paint. Also I will line up all my pieces to make sure the paint scheme is to my liking before I Green Wash!...Feel Free to add any comments! I will need to dry brush the tank topper! Posted for looks!
Lonescout Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 Green wash applied...I used Citadel Camo Green...which is close to the lime green. I couldn't find the lime Green in the Citadel inks. The back plate has that green tint and you can see the difference when the paint is applied to the armor compared to the unwashed bicep piece. pic was taken with flash This pic with out the flash.
Lonescout Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 Nice i love your paint job ! I will send your parts tuesday morning ! Thanks!
Lonescout Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 Here are some better pics of the wash. You can really see the green wash and I decided not to weather any thing so I clear coated the armor pieces...I can't wait to get the bucket!
mrbungle Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 hey lonescout looks good, how tall are you and how does pghfetts armor fit???
Lonescout Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 hey lonescout looks good, how tall are you and how does pghfetts armor fit??? I seen your post....5'8....I wish lol....I am 5'5 and is armor fits..me fine...the shoulder bells are big for me so I will install Knee pads in them so they look like they are floating as in the movie. I still think the back plate(tank) is to big and long...were as in the movie it looks wider than the scout. But shorter than the one pghfett made. Maybe it's my eyes!
