Army of two mask WIP pics and paint ideas

tomahawknutter · Apr 28, 2011

aw harro

ive been working on an army of two mask for my older bro for his 22nd birthday and he stupidly said i could customise it how i want too

sad thing is, i dont really know what to do :/ been thinking about adding flames to the side of the mask and maybe a scar on the left eye

BUT WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY IDEAS

just ya basic pep stage

a few layer of resin, have tape on the inside pulling it together to retain the shape

bondo added, bit too lumpy :/

primed it so i could clearly see any problem areas

added spotting putty and resanded, looks a mess but really smooth

just needs priming again

I think it would look pretty sweet with the scar idea. Like towards the end of the movie 300 how leonidas's helmet is chipped above and below the eye. As far as the paint goes I like the bare steel look with rivets or bolts around the seams.

It may just be the angle of the camera, but it looks kind of skinny. Does it fit all good? Also, there's some Army of Two paintball masks about with some pretty awesome paint jobs on them, might be able to check out some of those for inspiration? (I forget the site I found them on, sorry, but if you google Army of Two Paintball, I think they come up).

yeah it is a bit skinny, i didnt really use proper supports :/ i used some tape on the inside to pull it together to stop it from folding outwards when i worked on it, my bro says it fits him fine, but know him he wont wear it anyway ¬_¬ will just go on his wall
yeah i have seen a few, but tbh i dont think i could match them lol, not the best painter, i dont wana ruin this for my bro

The little gray button next to "reply with quote" It has a quotes marker bubble with a plus sign. That is the "multi quote" button. hit that on the posts you wanna quote. Then on the last one, hit reply with quote, and all of them should show up in the text box. BTW great AO2 mask, i need to work on mine for me and my bro.

Also to fix those sentences you've both got that end with [/QUOTE] but aren't actually quotes, put [ QUOTE] before the paragraph (without the space after the [

That's also how you manually do up quotes:

Nice work on that scar. I like how you roughed up around the eyes also. Is that a large scratch on the left side or just the cheekbone area?

On mine its black with dark gray tiger stripes, and then a Grey, black then grey again stripe down one side through the eye, with a lot of silver weathering, and the other one for my airsoft guest, usually my lil bro, is the same pattern, with no stripe.
