Lonescout Posted April 29, 2009 Author Posted April 29, 2009 Added some weathering to the cummerbund. I used Design Master October Brown fabric spray paint. I applied it with a brush and purchased it from Micheal's.
Lonescout Posted May 3, 2009 Author Posted May 3, 2009 I added some Vynal and had a friend add some paint w/ an airbrush. I think it may have came out too dark But a light sanding to give it more wear as the paint comes off and they grey vynal and greeble with show through!
Lonescout Posted May 3, 2009 Author Posted May 3, 2009 I Broke out the sand paper... the Grey areas I sanded came back....I think this will be based on the individual person as to How much Weathering is to much as The Kashyyyk were in the swamp and wooded areas. The paint comes off real easy on the two bands around the wrist. I may have to do them all over!
mrbungle Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 better , but i would tape them off and paint them grey.
Lonescout Posted May 8, 2009 Author Posted May 8, 2009 Some progress with the belt and cod...I just threw everything together for this pic. The pants didn't dye well as I see some reference w/ the under suit about the pants color although some pics w/ the darker color as the shirt is! The movie pics are darker...wear the ref pics in the pouch thread are darker....so either I darken the pants or wash the shirt a 100 time! Cameo on pants How dark should it be? You can't see any real cameo in the shirt!
Ladyghost4459 Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 That last dye job looks way better. It's all coming together really well Angelo. The rubber bits on the gloves really are looking good. The new codpiece and camo work looks great. I am only sorry that Ross didn't get some of the armor when it was available. Keep up the the trailblazing.
Lonescout Posted May 9, 2009 Author Posted May 9, 2009 I am only sorry that Ross didn't get some of the armor when it was available. So am I!
mrbungle Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 looks great, angelo, yeah that cod piece does look good considering it took me a little over an hour to make. i am glad the belt looks good. i think i need to make them a darker grey. i wouldn't sweat the shirt , most of it will be covered in armor and gloves and cumberbund.

Yeah, the cod piece works great ....thanks again!. Thats not bad in just over an hour! WoW! The belt has a green tint but you hit the nail on the head with the belt sections! I like both pieces but, the belt rocks!
Lonescout Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 I did some upgrading to this suit! My 11 year old took the pics but did not let me know a snap was showing on my left arm!....but anyway you got to love them! Upgrades included: Gloves, weathered cummerbund, belt, cod piece, Green tint to visor. Darker under suite. I tried to create the two back pouches but they will have to be down sized a lot due to my 5'5 stature. I added t-straps to the shoulder bell and the left side was not adjusted properly but it is hard to move in Fiberglass! Enjoy!
Ladyghost4459 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Wow....so much better with the upgrades. I have posted over in the GML forum and lets see what LMO and peer reveiw has to say.
mrbungle Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 looking really good, angelo. the dark camo on the suit made a world of difference. still need that second pouch under the tank.
Ladyghost4459 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 looking really good, angelo. the dark camo on the suit made a world of difference. still need that second pouch under the tank. Yep there should be two lumbar pouches... Definitely the talk of at least 4 differnt forums....
Acrylikhan Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Yes! That's the look Angelo!! And the glove greeb turned out good!
Bikercop Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 This looks amazing. Excellent work. Gives me inspiration to get on with mine. x
pghfett Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Excellent work, you are miles ahead of many of the KS's out there !!! Kudos on a job well done!
Lonescout Posted May 15, 2009 Author Posted May 15, 2009 Excellent work, you are miles ahead of many of the KS's out there !!! Kudos on a job well done! Thanks Mike!!!!! You don't have to be a stranger! Thanks again for making this armor, for this wouldn't be possible and thanks for the others who helped! I still need to make improvements! I have finished the two back Lumbar pouches and made the gray thigh patches look better!
Guest Vodika Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Man, your armor looks just perfect. And i wanna get started on one, i have a feeling i will be sending a lot of PM's to you with pleas for help and pointers Great job.
Lonescout Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 Pic of my two back pouches...to much flash and lighting which made my undersuit brown. I had to make them small so they could fit due to the angle of the back plate.
mrbungle Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 you need a shorter tank and then you would have room for the right sized pouches. but other than that your KST is the best thus far. nice work.
