Looking good Cliff!

Looks awesome man! Brand new boots!!!!!!!! Weathering looks great to man, welcome to the sand pits

Looking good man!

I am so bummed I missed all that! And I was on the roof for the big picture. And I 'm deployed to boot..... Oh well....next time I guess....

Awesome! And I totally missed the photo op! I was in armor on Saturday from about 11:00 4:00 and trooped it alone dirty. Oh well, next time I guess. It was great to meet you briefly Scribbler!

Is it just me, or are the newer submissions just getting better every time? Great job man!

To each their own, but I am not a fan of fullers earth. But everyone has their own way and there is no "right or wrong" way to do it. Looking good so far, keep it up!!!!

Nice! You were at Wondercon? I wore my sandy from about 9:30am -12:00pm on Saturday. Would have loved to walk the floor with ya!!!

Nice and dirty, but it looks "smokey". Good job! Good luck with your submission

Actually, the two terms you really NEVER hear around here is "Back off" and "too much!" But looking at the pictures you posted, definitely needs to be more dirty. But try to spread it around and not really smear it. There are some really good tuts here on weathering you should check out. Not sure what method you are using, but you are on the right track

Sorry, haven't looked at this thread for a bit. Thanks for the kind words everyone! I only used 4 colors for my weathering and I started with the lightest tan first, moved it around with a wet rag to get the "I have been in the desert for some time" look first. Then started using the darker colors to add dirt and grime. I took a picture of the colors I used, I will look for that pic again and re-post. Again, the Ab plate already has the little rivet molded on, no addition required. And I modded the left thigh myself, very easy. I have been getting a lot of requests for a video tutorial on my weathering. trying to find the time to make these, and a good handful of other tutorials for a few other things in the near future, likely after Celebreation.

Welcome Desert Fox! I am also in SoCal. Look forward to trooping with ya! I am always the only TD out there!!!!

Dude, looks awesome! But your pack looks awfully clean! Could be the lighting...

This is how I did mine. You can also check out my build thread to...

I plan on casting mine and try to pull it. With Celebration coming up, it has been difficult to balance stuff I wanna do with stuff I HAVE to do with all the orders we have doing X-Wing stuff. I will try to cast it this week and see how it pulls. Just picked up some plastic to pull chest boxes. I will post here the results....

I considered modeling this also. I have opted, one of theses day soon, to cast my current one. One of these days..... Your model looks great though dude!!!!

Dude, those power cylinders look awesome! Did you sand them at all before using the XTC? And again, I HIGHLY suggest printing the knobs separately. I also use 123D Design

I have a printer that prints both ABS and PLA. I HIGHLY recommend printing it in ABS. I would also recommend printing the knobs separately. It will require ALOT of clean up, but you can try that new stuff called XTC-3D. I have some but have not used it yet, but it is supposed to smooth parts out real nice Your model looks awesome by the way, Great job man!!!!

Congrats bro, proud to be here

Way to go Pat!

Most of the canvas pouches have nylon thread. I used black clothing dye and it worked great to dye the pouch, but did nothing for the thread. For that, I used a sharpie and just colored them in. It all looks black as it should

Right on Smally! Whoo Hoo!!!

Your on the right track man, lookin' good!!!

Looking good man!

Thanks man! No, no mod on the AB plate. Are you referring to the little rivet head? If so, MTK comes with those! I have seen people that just put a rivet there and paint over it, looks legit!
