Daric LaRone Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Well, thanks to great advice from the troopers here I am finally satisfied with my bucket weathering... Comments welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volumino Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 This bucket looks really great to me you did an awesome job with the weathering. But in my view you could perhaps tone down a bit the dirt around the Vocoder and the Mic Tips. Looking good there Volumino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berkal Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Looks really good. An awful lot like how I did my own lid. The markings on the dome look more like scorch-marks than dirt though. Was this the effect you were going for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daric LaRone Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Yeah, it's weird... I wasn't necessarily going for a specific result persay... it was definitely a progression, stages of weathering I suppose. You're right- the markings on the dome (which I quite like how they came out personally) could be identified as scorch marks (actually I've classified them as moisture farmer residue ), but I see them more as a dirt/grime/rust/dewback poodoo build-up if you will... which is actually the technique I used... weathering powder, then a bit of paint, then a bit more powder, until I got what I was looking for. Same with the facial features as well really. If one can go so far as to call what we do here "art", then I can totally see how an artist takes a piece through progressions or stages and (somehow) comes out with something he very much likes and others find interesting as well.

Daric LaRone Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 Thanks for asking... armor is how I want it as well... Putting finishing touches on fieldpack in order to go for deployment... Stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Really good job man! Looks authentic for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGreatSot Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks for asking... armor is how I want it as well... Putting finishing touches on fieldpack in order to go for deployment... Stay tuned. Woo hoo! I can't wait to see how the whole suit looks and get you deployed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daric LaRone Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Well, ask and you shall receive... Not quite ready for deployment (especially the pack) but presentable... Need to strap down that chest plate obviously, reposition the pouches a bit, and other tweaks but I like the overall look I've achieved. Thanks to MEPD.
