dutchy Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Always nice to see a sandie come to life. Loose the holster though..only the clean guys have those silly things What technique did you use for the weathering, airbrush? Maybe you could do some outside pictures as well while wearing the armor so the weathering comes out better. Anyhow, a great start bro'!!

Smally Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Well done for going TD bro. Nice weathering attempt, but as Justus said, no need for that holster dude.. We're Sandies! P.S. that armour maker is armor fx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eiros Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 thanks guys and it was a pre made kit it looks like it was spray paint weathering im thinking of re weathering it. thank you smally for the armor ID. FX is not approved with the 501st is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewback Jockey Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yes fx kits are approved I think the helmet is the only part that is not... But don't quote me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eiros Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hey Felix thanks for the links. it seems easy enough to do and from the looks of it all i got to do is replace the belt and mod the butt. the buttons have already been done. i have the field pack, id like to re paint and weather it to look like mr move along himself. i am already hunting for a new helmet can you guys give me tips on re painting and weathering and finding a new helmet?

Sandman Tigui Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 ATA as I pm you is a good choice Jon. If you weathered by spray paint a solvent that doesn't affect plastic with cloth could do the works even the residue can combine fine if re weathering with acrylics and cloth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
