TK7036 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Nice work there bro! Nothing beats painted armor. Looks it has bit more substance in it. May I know is the undercoat/primer in white also? Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchy Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'm off for a few days and guess what...you are already to the point of actually starting to run around in your monster armor But really great progress you made there bro'. And the helmet... So I guess connecting the straps will be the next on the "to do list", and then weathering the bad boy.. After painting the helmet that is of course. Can't wait to see the end result Rolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Nice work there bro! Nothing beats painted armor. Looks it has bit more substance in it. May I know is the undercoat/primer in white also? Thanks for sharing! Thanks bro. I have try a few products of spray paint, on extra trim off plastic: 1. Quick spray (from Norway). 2. Belton spray (from germany). 3. Montana (from spanish).' 4. Primer motip spray + motip high gloss spray together. 5. i have also try the primer a the first layer on all of them 1, 2, 3, and 4 then the spray it over. But the spanish montana was the strongest, and stronger whit out the primer. The MONTANA BLANCO DIVINDAD WHITE R-9010 HARD CORE, was the winner in the race. I don´t know if there is a better one, but these items are the best once we got here in Copenhagen right now for that job. When i was in NYC for some years ago, i try KRYLON and RUST-OLEUM. I think the RUST-OLEUM is pretty thick and strong/very good, for a job like this . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First up, the helmet has been taking Lola´s nr one chair (Garfield trouble ) The cosy telly trooper... zzzz Are you talking to me (taxi driver/the movie) Here is a picture of the spray paint i used for him. (there is something wrong whit my photobucket, some of the pictures are on the side?. But only on the forum, there are right here on my iphoto and photobucket.

Rolf Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 Here is a few pictures from today, of our small danish event. It was just a lot of old 70/80s, star wars stuff for sale. Two of our old friends made the event, so a few of us went there to get people attention. We vent up the main street of Tåstrup, a small town just out side Copenhagen. As you can see in´m still white, but the weathering will be on next week for sure. I did not bring my back pack, and bigger guns etc. Because i went there by train. Here you go, hope you like the suit. I think it fit pretty good. Cheers . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
