Foam SPI *Reforged*

[Zackurai]

Sooo I mentioned about my paint job way earlier, so I want to capture the SPI camo, basically when the user is idle, the kinda mirrors it environment, so behold my idea, keep in mind, it's just scrap foam with only one coat at different angles:

This is called color shift paint or chameleon paint, I think it will work out great, it has a different color at different angles, which this is a custom paint between olive green to dark copper, I did try a anthracite grey, but it took almost all the green, I will do couple more of coats to see how dark the copper could get, sooo cool, right? Also really expensive, but I am willing, and I think its sooo gosh dam cool!

Also contoured the straps to the reference pic!

I've secretly been hoping there was a way to mimic the camo! That paint looks legit! Keep us posted, man.

I'm digging that paint man, what brand is that? Spray or brush?

Hmmm dipyourcar custom aerosol can, basically a can of air, attach to a glass jar of a custom color shift pearl

Alright, have a raw bicep done, I have done no sanding and just a test filler on one side:

Alright the second bicep is done, not going to bother to post it, looks just like the first one sooooo, I guess the next thing to tackle would be the forearms!

Nope.....No pic means it doesn't exist. Do a side by side comparison.

Really? Fine!

Your progress looks lovely. I’ll try to refrain from saying it very much but I feel honored to be part of your build. I’m quite interested to see your paint scheme applied to the end result and obviously want to see them gauntlets...totally dig those beasts. Keep it up!
