Smally Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Doing very nicely so far mate, keep it up. I don't know what your plans are in regards to sealing the paint on there, if you use a cheap lacquer it leaves a nice ruff feel on the plastic which adds to the texture. Just food for thought.

I wasn't sure yet. I used hair spray (aqua net) on my incinerator armor and seems to have sealed it pretty good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syllander Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I'd go with some clear satin lacquer from a Lowes or Wal-Mart or whatever. It won't wash off if you get wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redforce Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 I would like to go for SWAT as a sergeant alley check V2 eventually I need references for the weathering. What I'm doing appears to be similar to the desert sergeant I believe. I know I will have to make adjustments/changes on stuff once I apply for SWAT....but can someone provide or point me in the right direction for visual references for a sergeant alley check V2 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jancelot Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Great work! I'm about to start my weathering with the same technique. Thanks for the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redforce Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 TD-10666 has been approved! Waiting on my pack to get finished by Quartermaster and then will apply for MEPD deployment (: Would love to go SWAT after my deployment. Depending on what trooper I choose.. It will take a good amount of altering of my weathering etc.... so it might not happen soon...but it will be on my radar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redforce Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Can you post a link as to where you got your leather MP40 Pouches? This is where I got my pouches. I got them back in early 2013. http://www.militarytour.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWAMPTHING Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 looking really good, I am dragging my feet only due to financial reasons, still need to rig my new TK helmet so I can then convert my old one over to TD and then get boots, then I will start weathering all at once, I really like your weathering treatment and showing the before the wipe is very helpful and I will be looking this over again when I am ready, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
