getting better. now on SOME edges kinda of feather it out or fade it out with the sponge brush. overlap SOME of the colors.

 

i paint a bit then stand back and see if it looks good or not.

I don't know how you guys did it but i mess it up everytime. I really don't understand how to use the sponge brush. This is killing me.

 

Anyone has somewhere a good videotutorial?

Don't use a sponge brush, use a sponge. You can get one at any art supply store. Dab the sponge in the paint just a little, then dab on the armor. When I start to paint mine I'll do a video on youtube.

Chad - check out Mr Bungles stickied build of his armour ont he top of the page - - the base colour is a special mix of household latex paint. he even gives the exact colour mix. I have also foudn the colour match in UK for European troopers out there!

 

Vodika - its looking good man. stop giving yourself such a hard time mate - its looks like it coming along really nicely! great job so far. And nice pouch designs too!!!

 

Its ncie to see more and more stuff being made available for KSTs! Would be interested in the pouches too.

 

You do realise that Angelo and Toms are like the BEST 2 KSTs out there ;P

About the ammo-boxes run for Kasshyyyk troopers: I'll try to post the topic this weekend.

I'm currently having some issues regarding a personal costume that I want to solve before concentrating my efforts on this run.

Hey everyone,

 

It seems my friend was faster than me to post a pic. I didn't had time for it because today it was my granddad's funeral. He lived to become 89 years old. He died in his sleep. We saw it coming this last few weeks. He had a nice life but it's still a hard time when someone is taken from you.

 

 

Anyway, i will post more pics soon and also more close-ups from the pouches. He is not ready yet for 501st status but untill my gloves arrives i will take a break from it, not long, just a few weeks i guess. My wife is going crazy with all the hours i spend in the garage ;)

 

For base i used a paint from tamiya, i will post tomorrow the colorcode.

Hi everybody...

 

Checking back in after a long time of hibernation... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

 

I still need to modify my armor but it was to cold to work on it in the garage. And untill the summer i will have no time for it either because... WE BOUGHT A HOUSE... WOOHOO...

 

I will move there around may so untill then you will not hear a lot from me but after i'm back in bussines.

 

BTW, is there a good videototurial already about the camopaint? :rolleyes:

Posted

CONGRATS on the house, nothing like owning your own home.
