I got the pouches attached to my belt, all i have to do is round some edges and done with that maybe a magnet for my usuable pouch

Also a surprise post.

Surprise post!

I will probably do a "battle skirt" like the Clone ARC Troopers or even the Clone Commanders sometime have, that will look pretty cool, and a velco setup for my belt, its just tape for this pic so a little saggy. Anyway, see what I can do today for it.

Been working on my helmet, I used some good ol' epoxy putty to fill in the dent and curreny using some spot putty on all the molded in paint chips.

Also I went ahead and took apart my helmet for sanding an filling, here is the final result of my fill in job.

And here is my helmet pretty much with all the molded paint chips filled in.


A ridiculous amount of sanding

Wow a ton of work done to fill in the black series helmet. It was nice to begin with, I'm sure it'll look nice all shiny and new.

Epoxy putty is the stuff!

I didn't have too, just didnt like how deep there "paint chipping" was

Got my helmet "beskar" coated. I first use primer, then i hit it with a gloss dark grey, i tried gloss black first, but made the graphite too dark, so gloss dark grey worked great. Here look for yourselves.

Also got the range finder and the side bits graphited too.

Also got the inside bits base coated in flat black and going to hit it up with metallic gold, brass, silver, charcoal, and aslo going to hit the chips with white, blue, white, red, and green, maybe some yellow, who knows, might feel wild.

And this is what the original color was.

Anyway, so I'll be painting details for an hour or 2, maybe 3.

 

[Dire]

Warning, PIC Heavy. Got alot of my extra details painted, its a step I didn't really have to take, but did it anyway.




Think I will highlight all those raised edges with some sterling just to get some edges to show better

 

[Dire]

Got some decals for my shoulders, maybe, might put them somewhere else, had my profile pic made and a mythosaur.

Pretty coold right?

 

[Dire]

I received a 3D printed gauntlet in from 3d Cauldron, ahe has pretty nice files on Etsy. Anyway here is all the bits.

And I'll get it glue up later on today, still deciding on how to attached to my undersuit or use elactic or something, anyway, later.

 

[Dire]

Alright, its all glued up! Looks like very little clean will be needed.

Pretty freakin awesome!

 

[Dire]

Went ahead and assembled my helmet to add my liquid latex for my weathered paint job, but it is all assembled( I'll be honest, i just wanted to wear for a while) also got rid of the dumb headband thing and used some upholstery foam to line it instead.



Also thinking about tinting my visor on the inside with a 2-way mirror tint for windows, I'll research into it more.

P.S. This just graphite powder buffed up and clear coated probaly go with blues or greys or blue, grey and white. Still deciding.

Thank you! Might have been a waste of time, but I like it

 

[Dire]

Got my gauntlets attached with elastic bands, didnt take a pic, I will later on today.

That looks amazing!! I was thinking of what character to go with. Boba Fett or just a Phase 2 Clone trooper or storm trooper. I have the voice changer stromtrooper helmet.

I would recommend Boba, it will be way more comfortable. Always got to think about that man

 

[Dire]

And finishied putting my beskar base coatvon ally pieces and flex sealed my belt bits, oh also got a flak vest in.

 

[Dire]

Alright, photo dump time, so gauntlets/vambraces are first.

Next I will post all the armor bits with their beskar coating.
