PS: When I said scrap I just ment the color not the whole armor.
Good work on the battle damage though,
Good work on the battle damage though,
Thanks for the support guys, I'm hammering it out 
@Ronin - Good luck amigo! Yeah I intend on adding bullet holes, plasma burns and if I can find the materials at Lowes today I should be able to get my needler and spiker shots attached today
I SHOULD.. have complete pictures of the whole suit tonight, but strapping this all make take awhile and I need to be fresh and awake for tomorrow So at the very least I'll have pics tomorrow of me in action with some of the other forum members.
Cheers,
Kensai

Edit: Oh and to add to the coolness, I carved the Scar out with a military issue switchblade.. the un-friendly kind. Figured it needed to be done right, with a manly man's tool.
heh good analogy. I was actually thinking Leonidas cross bred with half of chuck norris.. lol
how are you going about making needle and spike shots in the armor? the tried and true 'stab the knife in and twist' method?

For the bullet holes I took a soda bottle cap, dremeled it in half, then cut out a hole in my armor and set the cap in, sealed it with hotglue and painted it black on the inside and gave it shading and depth. As for the spiker shots, hotglue sticks carved into points and sprayed with that textured spraypaint
Needler shots I took those hot pink hotglue sticks, carved one end into a point and heated the other end and placed it on the armor where I wanted a needeler shot hanging out of.Overlord_Ian said:
It's copyrighted, sorry lol
. We can't have "Gash The Righteous" running around now can we?I'm almost done here at work guys.. *wipes brow* we're close. The fans I ordered never showed up so I ended up hitting the Radio Shack today and buying the materials to make my own should they not be here by tomorrow. Link's magnum and frags arrived perfectly today.. they are BOSS! Link... you're the man. Hopefully I can get everything finished tonight so I can post pics, if not I'll have plenty from AdventureCon.
Cheers,
Kensai

Just a heads up - that can of HOK is a candy. a candy is basically a tinted clear with a pearl added. If, in the future, you want to change the color, but still like the yellow, change up your base coat color. If you went with an orange or a darker yellow, it would significantly change your final color. The only downside to this is that you'll probably need to do a couple of test swatches before you're ready to paint, since doing it blind would probably give you a color you don't want.
Armor does look awesome, btw.

Still a few tweaks left here and there as we all improve our armor over time. As for now, the armor is 100% complete. Picture extravaganza go!
Boots
Shins
The edges of the thighs are now sealed like the rest of the armor..
Codpiece/Buttplate
Chest/Backpack
Closeup of Scar's nametag on the armor
Bloodsplatter and handprint of dying soldier on chest.. gives him a little character and personality
Left Forearm - the flash made that orange stuff appear in the picture.. it's not there on the armor
Right Forearm
Biceps With Seventh Column Decal
Scar Side of Helmet
Front View of Helmet
Ladies and Gentlemen .. Scar The Just, Reporting For Duty.
Thanks to everyone on the forum for your support in this craft. I couldn't have done it without each and every one of you.

WOW! It looks great, but it might be a good idea to but something behind his scar and paint silver on it aswell as black, just because damage needs to look like metal. Great job though, i love it, the colors look very unique!

The fans are now installed behind the scar and silver was added. Guess you can't see it in the final pic of me wearing it but there are plenty of moving parts and whatnot back behind it thats what the cardboard struts you see in the picture were for
Thanks Ian.Cheers,
Kensai

christ man! excellent job! how long did it take to make this again?
Jason 'Biff' H said:
Technically 9 months.. but for the last 3 months.. every day before work I worked on it for 2-3 hours and from midnight to 4am after work (all 7 days a week). Amen for no more waking up early working on it.. and working a 10hr shift just to come home and spend 4 more hours in the garage on it when all I want to do is sit down and relax. Thanks for the kind words guys.
Cheers,
Kensai
