TK-607 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Hi folks, after endless nights of cutting, sanding, painting I finished my TE1 suit just right in time for JC2010. Here are some pics of the complete armor. Enjoy TK-607 Thanks to: TD-1536 for his neat weathering tutorial and inspiration for a good looking paintjob. TD-8800 for his photo thread and strapping plan. Helped me alot on building up the suit. TD-2581 for all his support and trooper parts. Details: Weathering lower calf Abdomen with 3 buttons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volumino Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Looks good buddy! Seems to me that you got the right weathering techniques You've done an outstanding job, looks really accurate with the realistic placing of the dirt Just a little note from my side: Perhaps you should add a little darker tones because that what I see has more red shades.

TK-607 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Thanks for your comments Yes I painted it. I used PlasticPrimer and "RAL 9010" white glossy Spraypaint (3 layers) before I weathered it. (I used Woodland Scenic colors slate grey, burnt umber and yellow ocher) Mike's Weathering tutorial is here: http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=4239 Cheers, TK-607 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-607 Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 RAL is a color standard and i knew that 9010 is a white which tends more to a warmer yellow than colder blue grey tone. Due limited brands in my local hardware store (own brand and BELTON) and the "OBI" one had no plastic primer I used BELTON. Here are the direct links: BELTON SpectRAL BELTON Plastic Primer The paint is scratch resistant and won't go off if you rub over it with the woodland colors. Let the paint cure for 2-3 days to be sure. I used around 4 spraycans (400ml) for the whole suit and color testing. 3 cans will be enough I think.
