mrbungle Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 i have found what i believe to be the correct freaking colors for the camo on the KT. please if you feel different please say something. i was looking at the gentlegiant staue and the screen shots. the camo has always been a thorne in our side for the KT. so here is my list. list of my colors. base coat. benjimn moore. egg shell finish HC 96 + BK 1/2 +TG 1/2 camo green still out on this but i am working on it. brown camo tamiya color flat earth xf-52 # 81359 yellow stains tamiya color desert yellow. XF-59, item # 81752 here is the pics. i have not weathered the green yet but i think it is dead on to the reference pics. the pic also makes the green look brighter than it is in real life. the paint is apple barrel leafgreen. number 20472 i am going to paint my helmet with this later and post tonight.
mrbungle Posted April 16, 2010 Author Posted April 16, 2010 well i think it is too green. it needs more of an olive tone to it. be back later with more...... what is killing me is, in real life it does not look that green. IGNORE THE GREEN IN THIS PIC!!!
Mosi Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 For the life of me, I can't see where there should be yellow in the cammo. I have watched all of the close up scenes over and over again and I think it's different lighting that is causing the green to flatten out a bit. It also only looks like one color of brown that was laid on heavier in some spots, and lighter in other areas making it look like a different color. I don't know.. my brain hurts from watching the whopping 60 seconds of KT footage over and over!
BrotherHalo Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 ROFL! I know what you mean, mosi! Would it kill ILM to just send us some hi-res still images of the trooper?
Lonescout Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 We are all watching with are eyes wide open! I like the base color.
mrbungle Posted April 16, 2010 Author Posted April 16, 2010 well i am going to post some pics soon...... once i have the correct colors i am going to send out the color samples to anybody who wants them. that way when we troop together we will atleast match.
mrbungle Posted April 16, 2010 Author Posted April 16, 2010 what do you guys think of this...i took a blown up pic of the sholder bell and place the pic over my helmet. i think we have a winner.
Boro Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Looking sweet to me, and ill be wanting some of the samples Mrbungle so i get my paint store to make them up for me here in the uk
Boro Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Cheers I Hope I can get my cammo half as good as yours bud looking amazing there really is
Mosi Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 That's pretty freaking close! What color is that? I achieved the same thing today by using olive green craft paint mixed with a couple of drops of yellow. It would be far easier to not have to mix it though. I haven't painted my armor yet, btw.
mrbungle Posted April 17, 2010 Author Posted April 17, 2010 well if you want i can send you samples of the colors i used, that way you can get them made.
mrbungle Posted April 17, 2010 Author Posted April 17, 2010 everyone who is not waiting on armor from me, please post and address so i can send color samples to the address you post. this way i can keep track of who needs color samples.
Lonescout Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 MB are these all house hold paints? What is going to be the best method to seal the paint? As someone like me who troops alot in the Florida sun....I used Krylon utra-vilot clear coat on my costume.
Mosi Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Are you still mailing samples, or should we print this pic?
mrbungle Posted April 19, 2010 Author Posted April 19, 2010 i am going to still mail samples. i posted those for folks who can't wait.
mrbungle Posted April 20, 2010 Author Posted April 20, 2010 the paints are interior eggshell house paints. i think the krylon uv protection clear coat should pose no problem. everybodies color samples will go out tuesday morning...(tommorow).
Mosi Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 I recd MB's samples yesterday and got some small paint samples mixed up to match. This is the result so far... taken inside with the flash on.
mrbungle Posted April 23, 2010 Author Posted April 23, 2010 not to shabby, i would make the camo more jagged and pointy , not so blob like. does that make sense??
Mosi Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 not to shabby, i would make the camo more jagged and pointy , not so blob like. does that make sense?? I'm going to make it a mix. This cammo is all over the place going from blotchy, to jagged, to almost an airbrush look in some areas... I'm using the hi-res screen caps for reference.
mrbungle Posted April 23, 2010 Author Posted April 23, 2010 the camo is tough to do, but you have right idea, keep rocking!
