Well guys I have something to update, havant really been doing much on my fett for a few days, playing the waiting game on some items. Firstly my spats and pouches that I ordered are way over due, Im hoping customs has them rather than the bloke ripping me off
But I have just ordered myself a SE belt which should be here next week, fingers crossed.
So as usual with this hobby, ive been spending more money yet again. Basically I went out and bought every pot of paint that I need to paint my fett, excluding the helmet.
So having nothing to do, so I thought i'd give a bit of armour ago. This is my first real go at painting a piece, due to the amout of colours involved. So firstly the piece is sprayed with silver paint, then sections are masked out using masking fluid.
Once set, I then sprayed the piece with a yellow/baige colour. Im finding it hard to get even coats so I had to apply two layers :x Once the yellow had dried, I simply peeled the masking fluid off to show the silver underneath.
I then masked off the sliver again, followed by sections of yellow . The piece was then coated in the first shade of green.
Once dry, same as the yellow, I peel off the fluid to reveal the yellow and silver damage.
So basically that were im at at the moment. The colour looks a little light but it still needs another shade of green along with weathering at a clear coat. Im again having problems getting even coats, so this green is goin to have to have anothe layer. Ive also had some problem areas, a few little bubbles along with a bit of cracking paint. So im goin to sort that out tommorw with some wire wool and give it the second layer. Ive then got to add some darker green along with the weathering. So what do you think of my first layering paint job
