FP Armor... painting techniques for the clandestine hunter

Pavespawn

Active Hunter
I have posted a few pics of my armor progress in a few other threads. I was asked to bring them all together and "show off" my progress. Here goes!

Here it is as it looked right out of the box.

This is a picture of a shoulder bell with the chrome and masking fluid applied. Threepio think it looks great FP!

The rest of the armor minus the butt plate is painted and ready to have the masking fluid removed. I will get some pictures of that as soon as I get more batteries for my camera!

I thought I would do the black wash after I applied the decal. That way it would look more like it weathered evenly.
 
Cool knees! Does the kneeplate have tabs or something to attach the side pieces?
Anyone assemble vacc'd knees before? I'm wondering how sturdy they'll be once they're put together.
 
No tabs. Just a really good tutorial by Fettpride. I think once they are done, they will be super strong and best of all, flexable.
 
Very nice and a great paint job too. Love the details.

I hope that one day i will be a proud owner of Fettpride armor as well.

cheers
