Dipped all the front pieces and re-did the front plate with "battle damage" AKA woops with the drimle got to make this look better.

Also cut/carved/dipped the back torso pieces as well

Yeah for some reason I like doing the chests. Mabey its the sense of fulfilment.
. Also, I did nothing yesterday, ended up doing some Extra Life stuff instead. Hopefully I will do the shoulders tonight.

OK so I got the shoulders mostly done, I need to sand and dip both, and do some drimmle on the other.

Should have finished them all the way today, but I will just have to make up for lost time on my next full day off, Sunday.

Ok! so my internet has been down(thanks Bright House) and I forgot to take pictures this week so I'm making up for it now!

First things first my mess!!

I have the front parts panted and "weathered", used the dry brush technique on all of them.

Thighs and shoulders are also done as well as have been Elasticised™ in order to mount to me and not

Shoulders and shins are done as well, not much details but I lost my cool on them, made 3 attempts at each before I got this. Also mare the left arm so that my phone fist in it like a tacpad.

And I picked up a pair of Tactical boots from Academy, on sale for $39.99

WOOH!! got to finish the rest tomorrow!

Your stuff is looking really good man.

One thing I would suggest is not to hide your pics, I know from experience on other sites people don't like to click links to see pics. On sites like these there are SO MANY pics to look thru & most people just scan thru them till they see something that catches their eye. Hiding your pics may also be the reason you haven't gotten more feedback.

Your stuff is looking awesome so far...don't hide it, let us all see it!!!

LOL well I'm not buff so I don't think that works, I'm just not going to move.
Also I'm done, got it all packed up and will make sure to get some pictures at the launch tomorrow and 2050 this weekend.

Looking good so far! One issue I'm worried about is where the bottom of the chest sits in relation to your ribcage. if you go any lower than it you start losing mobility. The reason I see for you not being able to use your shoulder armor is that the chest piece reaches in front of your arms. There is no requirement to change it, the ONI ODSTs and that one buff guy from rvb have no shoulder armor but the sheer size of the chest piece may negatively impact your ability to hold items. If you had more time, it would be beneficial to tweak the chest to be a little smaller, but don't let it stop or impede the armor making, just some constructive criticism moving forward.
