Here is my armour. I've been painting with rattlecans (colours listed below). This is FP armour. I'm still waiting for the shoulders and centre diamond plate to arrive.
I still need to do a bit more on the chest armour. This is the armour painted. I've done a sanding of steel wool, plus some scratches (done with a file while the paint was drying). I plan to do some black misting and a black wash to add a bit more depth. This was my first time using liquid masking, and I think it worked out well.
Base coat: Rustoleum Silver
Green: Krylon Italian Olive Satin misted with Rustoleum "Painter's Touch" Hunt Club Green
Yellow (knees): Krylon Bauhaus Gold
To do the yellow on the dents (the outline of the silver) I mixed some Lemon Yellow craft paint with a bit of Burt Sienna and Black to get a khaki-yellow colour.
The knees have the silver and yellow, but I need to finish them with more misting (black or dark brown perhaps). If anyone has good reference pics of the ESB knees, I'd appreciate seeing them.
