DirtyBoy Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 hey Sheldon....looks good man. i think the photos make it a little dark but can't completely tell from my iPhone. to say the least its a great start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inglorious trooper Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 looks good buddy! what did you use,acrylic paints or fullers earth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Looking good bro! Pictures are a bit small to fully appreciate the weathering but it looks fine. Maybe a bit more darker/irregular patterns on the chestplate? Saludos. Juan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Thanks for the thumbs up! I have been using fullers earth. I considered acrylic paints although I liked the thought of the fullers. Gives it a gritty apperance up close. I will break up the chest armor and darken some of the areas. More pictures tomorrow. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Updated pictures of the upper body completed. I am wearing the entire upper section minus the back pack.

inglorious trooper Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 great bit of weathering, i also love the look of fullers earth,good choice!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Thanks for the thumbs up! I find that the weathering has become my favorite part of this whole process! The whole set of armor should be done by next week hopefully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 It's looking good! I like the Fuller's Earth effect... it looks like real sand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 I agree. It has a gritty feel to it. I am surprised at how easy it was after I did a practice piece. Did the entire upper body in a couple hours. Just waiting on A.L.I.C.E straps for the back pack and a little more sand colored fullers to get here so I can finish the last couple of pieces. The end is getting so close I can almost taste it. Hmmm a bit gritty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archangel Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Pictures of the weathering. I have completed the weathering and will be submitting for 501st approval tonight, Some of the lighting does not do the weathering justice but it will give an idea at least. Hope I did ok. http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r592/archangel192/final6.jpg http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r592/archangel192/final5.jpg http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r592/archangel192/final4.jpg http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r592/archangel192/final3.jpg http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r592/archangel192/final2.jpg http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r592/archangel192/final1.jpg http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r592/archangel192/final7.jpg I look forward to your thoughts and comments.
