Hey all, I just finished my first build of ODST Foam Armour(pics to come). Had some general questions on how to do paint and battle damage and what everyone prefers. I have played around with the Vaseline and toothpaste method. besides dry brushing what other ways do you all prefer. any help would be great!

probably the angles, i followed DFT tutorial and what he calls the bevel or 45 degree angles. did all of those probably about 3 to 4 times each before i was actually satisfied with the way they looked
other than that just the templates

oh and the face that i am stocky and have huge shoulders and calf's so when it came to doing the 90 degree angles for the shins and shoulders had to alter them to make them look ok on my body. curse being 5'7" and like 220. lol

alright guys here it is the final paint job! the helmet i had commisioned by armory props but the dry brush is mine. the pain job on the armor is a plasti dip sealant, with a silver under coat, and a matt black over coat, then a satin clear sealant finish for the paint. I am uber happy how it turned out. still gotta add straps and buckles.





















Hope you all enjoy!

So life got in the way of my build. I was not happy with how the first paint job turned out so I scratched it up with some sand paper and repainted it and not the paint job matches the helmet much better. here are the updated photos.

so update to my build, i started strapping up the ab, hip, and butt plates today. progress is looking good will have pics soon, upon trying on my torso it cracked and bent so bad it is unusable. Such a blow to the self esteem, but oh well, gonna try a different method by buying a black MOLLE plate carrier and gluing the detail pieces onto the plate carrier. gives me the ability to adjust my torso to my size so i can wear it comfortably. Pics will be up soon of the fully strapped up armour minus the chest.

Both Punished Props and WM armory have some great tips for weathering props, these are some of the best. but the general idea is to lightly paint any edge with silver paint (any place the prop would realistical rub or scratch against something) Then take some brownish, blackish acrylic paint mix with a tiny bit of water, rub it in all the cracks and nooks, then wipe it away, and TADA! it looks dirty and old.
