Nicely done. Sometimes high quality and expensive are what is needed.....but I bet you could have pulled it off using everyday paint.
yeah. The paint is a lot thicker and does a lot better of a job when weathering. The silver stuff is a lot thicker than the regular acrylic paint that I already had, thus making it easier to work with and better looking. The main reason for me using that is because I had already bought it for my MC build's painting (which has been updated, check it out ) and it looks really nice.Nicely done.

This is looking amazing. You could say it's the nova bomb..... yeah that was a bad jokeOh crap I'm such a slacker!! I haven't posted a thing in what...2 months? Pff! It's 'bout time...
Ok but for reals. Major progress has been made. I'll start with the Shins.

These guys were made from EVA foam. I carved all those lines by hand with an Exacto knife and then used a heat gun to open the creases up some more. I just need to work on the fasteners next, then those will be done.
Next up, forearms and forearm sleeves. I made these sleeves out of some silver quilted fabric. I'll be wearing a long-sleeved shirt underneath for an extra aesthetic layer.

I really like the way they turned out. They bulk me up a little bit anyway.
Last but not least, here is my coat mock-up. I took a pattern and modified it to look like a coat from the Destiny 2 Beta. Still a WIP, I need to add the sleeves.

Helmet is bobloheaddesh, too; but I'll bulk up the rest of my body with thicker fabric. lol. So skinny...with a large head. :/
Later guys and gals, enjoy!
I need to myself a copy of that dictionary.... probably should make one for me as well...... BANNA!!!!Paperwookie ??? Is that how it goes haha?? I'll never catch on to the Blackwell dictionary. Cool stuff looks like a pretty good start, digging the helmet
Even if it is a little big
Well, I used a pattern I bought from Jo-Ann's, made that coat out of muslin, and modified it a TON to fit what I wanted it to be. It's pretty much unrecognizable from the original pattern. I added a few seams, but removed and altered the old seams that I wanted to keep.That coat is amazing! (I'm cheating big time with mine. Just about finished here)
Did you use a pattern for the coat? My mistake has been free-handing everything.
You have some skills, my friend! That foam work is superb as well!
