Scott M. Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I wanted to show off a little something I been working on. Let me know what you think: I am waiting to get my TD designation and then I will submit for Deployment over here when that comes through, but I just wanted to share a little of what I have been doing here and there. Feel free to provide any feedback or suggestions. I certainly have been very grateful for all the help I have received here so far, so keep it comin'. I know I need to trim the strap for the BFG, but I just cannot decide how I want to attach it, thus my hesitance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groz Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 DAM looks gr8 to me i cant wait to get started on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-1536 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Looks really good. Backpack looks great! I would take a lot of the dirt off the pauldron, though. I think it's too dusty looking, but it's up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnQTK5122 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I like the fact that your sand looks like sand and not dirt or mud! Maybe some of the sand on the pauldron will naturally wear off as you troop, just as it would in real life? I think it makes sense that, in the real world, more sand would stick to the pauldron and the ammo pouches than would stick to the armor. Very nice backpack! Mine is brand new, too, and I'm hesitant to weather it, but I suppose it has to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Very nice! Remember that dirt usually sticks in corners, not so much on exposed surfaces! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's too dusty looking, but it's up to you. Thanks for the input, that is why I asked. I have a feeling a lot will come off, and I also agree it looks a little "heavy" on the dirt. Very nice! Remember that dirt usually sticks in corners, not so much on exposed surfaces! Yea, I was trying to focus on the cracks more, but my technique needs practice. I hope to dirty up the pack today. Thanks again for all the comments. I will post an update of the pack when I get it a little more "used." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 The technique is great. I think the pauldron is a nice variation, just that it's dirty a lot compared to the chest is all. Great work Scott! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groz Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 thats a good lookin t-21 where did you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motman241 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 The pauldron does look a bit more dirty than anything else. Also, don't forget to dirty your gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work Scott! The pauldron does look a bit more dirty than anything else. Also, don't forget to dirty your gun. Agreed. I will be brushing it off this week to make it more in line with the rest of the armor. I still need to dirty the pack and gun, so I will get that done before the weekend. thats a good lookin t-21 where did you get it? A good gentlemen of the 501st site. It is a resin gun, so on the heavy side, but I have a Cushman DLT-19 just starting to take shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilovesand&dirt Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Don't forget to dirty up your backpack as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I like it. But i will clean it down a bit, let it get in the corners here and there. And use some more colours on it, like: Dark/light sand, Dark/light brown, mud, black, grey. And give the suit + gear the same weathering, all over . I sure you know Mike´s site www.tk1536.com There you can see the mix i´m talking about. There is many pictures, and it looks good. Cheers .

runJEDIrun Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 looks good so far, but i would suggest making the teeth darker. it seems a bit washed out to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-5766 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Looking good. Get some of those nooks and crannies with some dark dirty colors for some contrast and you are good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott M. Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 OK, you guys are animals!!! Here is my first round with the lighter earth on the pack. I will see how it looks in the sun tomorrow, and maybe add some darker stuff. Here is a shot with less flash: Keep the feedback comin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth-Tuapawa Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Looking good Scott! Haven't come across any of that Fullers Earth stuff over here in New Zealand yet, does it stick to the costume well once you've sealed it over? Nice armour bin too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice armour bin too I will let you know after this weekend!! It will be my first troop as a TD, so I will probably learn a lot on Saturday.
