sith_241 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I figured id make a separate thread for my weathering job. I had originally weathered way too much, so i took most of it off this evening. Here is how my armor is currently weathered. I still plan to do a newspaper rub over the top to give it some blackness. I may also do some slight dry brushing of gray in certain areas. Comments welcome! Especially for taking it SWAT. I am going to add weathering to the chest to emulate the troopers HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandyStormTrooper Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I def like the wear job so far but i think your chest plate needs a little more. From the legs down looks perfect but id also add a little more to the shoulders too. Just my .02 But great job overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRIBBLER Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Looking good so far, Brother! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FryGuy Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Looks good so far, brother. On a side note, though...I had that same issue with my crooked leg (please forgive me if your leg is really shaped that way!) and I was able to straighten it out by adding foam (pipe insulation) to the inside of the suit where it needed it.

sir david Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 thats loads better dan! good job there dude! i will watch your swat progress with great interest bro! with my swat attempt,i have tried to copy screen cap look,and brush techniques as used in 76' and also only used 1 pigment (burnt umber,which has a slightly reddish,oily hue to it! raw umber would give you a straight brown shade,but you can achieve lighter shading and texture by just diluting the one pigment) as i said, looking really cool buddy!
