Alright, it's been a few days since I updated, so here's a few things I got for you!
I did some weathering today, the old Vaseline/sand method. It turned out pretty well, but there's still some more weathering to go. I have to spray the red stripe and other detail lines onto it, and then I'll drybrush the edges and scratch down to the silver in some spots, to make it look more worn. Progress is coming along nicely!
Keeping with the helmet, I've commenced work on the visor, and it's looking rather nice! I've got the sharp bends in, but I need to bend it slightly with the heat gun. I tried this earlier, but there's a small margin of error with plastic this thin. I'll get back to it soon. I also have some VHT Nightshades in the mail, so that's how I'll be tinting it.
Still on the helmet, I've pepped and hardened the pieces to Buck's commpack, an idea I found on carpathiavh99's Buck ODST build. Reference pic below.
I sprayed the chest plate red today, and pealed off the tape on the black parts. Next step is stenciling, and after that I can wash it with black to make the red duller, and hopefully less glossy. Then I'll drybeus edges, and it'll be done!
Also, I think I've decided what my undersuit shall be! This here flightsuit can be found on Amazon or Ebay for just under $40, which sounds like a good deal to me, because it'll look good, and not be as expensive as some other stuff out there.
That's all for now!
