    BRAND NEW BOBAMAKER ARMOR

    OH BOY!!! OH MAN!!! THIS STUFF IS AWESOME!!! i cant begin to explain how awesome Daz's work is...you have seen it written all over these boards, but until you see it in person, fresh out of the box, you dont understand it...amazing work, and ready to paint...i waited a LONG time for this, and it is finally here...worth every penny spent, and every second stressing about when it was going to get here...so worth it!!! i will update as i work on it....

    The kit came from Daz (Bobamaker) and is made from fibreglass and pre-trimmed ready for painting.

    Would you mind posting the slot measurements (if they weren't cut custom).

    Thanks!

    Peeps generally trim/open their armour to the manufacturers chest light designs?
    I'm sure your light dims have been used to trim armour?

    Re: BRAND NEW BOBAMAKER ARMOR

    here's what i have got painted on the armor so far...the cod and butt are also painted the green, but havent misted them yet, will post those later...really difficult to keep the black in one area with a rattlecan, wish i had an airbrush, but this will do i think...give me your input guys!! now, this is just the black, i have to get some lighter color in those areas to really grime them up...any hints on what that color might be would be appreciated, for rattlecan...

    Re: BRAND NEW BOBAMAKER ARMOR

    Hey D, looking good now we have some colour going on!
    If you are referring to the armour's highlights? what I used was some small mists with the panzer olive and accent that with some earth tones (brown) then I would have applied the black/grey.
    It's always hard with a rattle can... Altho saying that, there are some great suits on here that have used those?

    Re: BRAND NEW BOBAMAKER ARMOR

    so you wouldve gone with the lighter color first? then the black? i see...i think i can still make it work...in your pics it looks greyish to me...maybe just the flash... but once i get those lighter color accents on, and the silver and yellow for the damage, it'll be good....i hope...:o

    Re: BRAND NEW BOBAMAKER ARMOR

    Yeah the flash can change certain colours.. around the dents and some edges I used a grimy grey colour.
    For the final weathering after additional tones etc.. I used the black.

    oh ya, brother, totally am...so it is a greyish color then...inside the the black areas...awesome, and ya know, if you look at my pics, it looks gray as well in some spots, and no gray has been used....totally flash effect...look at the lower corner of the left chest piece (when put on), it has a gray color to it...

    Re: BRAND NEW BOBAMAKER ARMOR

    Ok... (this is harder over the tinternet) add the additional green that I used to lighten and highlight certain areas according to ref.
    Then add the grime, earth and grey tones over that to blend those previous areas...

    Good to hear all the happy customers - I've just ordered a set from Daz, he's going to paint it up for me too as my skills are not quite up to the task. Looks like he's very much in demand, and with good reason, by the sound of it.

    Hey everyone. Nice armor! I'm new to the DH, so forgive the stupid questions. Where can one purchase this magical armor? How much is it? I got some off of ebay, but it's not anywhere near this quality...but it was cheap....I'm building a suit to surprise my kids for Halloween.

    thanks.

    You probably won't be able to get brand new armour from one of the armour makers in time for Halloween. Due to suppliers being in high demand orders can take anywhere from 6 - 10 weeks or more. It's no cheap either, see this thread: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f22/new-tdh-read-about-how-much-you-will-spend-17421/ for how much you can expect to spend on a high quality costume. Not trying to discourage you but those are the realities of this hobby. Check out the Cargo Hold for second hand items. There are plenty of threads on building armour from scratch out of various materials which is a lot cheaper. Good luck!

    Well impressed, that takes some doing, you would be pretty slick with an air brush! I sh*t out of painting mine, but was lucky enough to get Gav to do it. I have just been painting a pack up, that was fun.

    Very cool D...
    I can see where you added the additional tones to the armour and I do love the armour with just the silver! *Almost a shame we put the yellow on*

    Keep up the good work and you'll have a set of kick butt armour!

    ok guys, progress!! got the silver now done on all except the back plate...some sort of "wall" there to get that piece done... but anyway, i noticed in these when i took the pics in the sun, the camera really pics up the dust, so it looks like there are little silver flecks everywhere...oh well, when i dust or use the steel wool on them it will come off...mainly wanting to show the silver damaged areas...give me your input!!! boomer, i know you will, brother!!

    Re: BRAND NEW BOBAMAKER ARMOR

    thanks! well, it is the testor's zinc chromate, so i am not sure how that compares to the other brands...i still have to steelwool it down a bit, and of course the matte finish...so that will dull it up a bunch...

    Being a total noob, I know diddly about the painting / build up of Fett armour etc....

    It's threads like this that give me a serious insight to the top job you all do at creating the character.

    Absolutely loving the work you've done so far.... top stuff.

    Maybe oneday, I'll be giving it a go myself..

    Wow I dont check a thread for a while and a things go crazy. That is a really great paintjob bud!

    I think that the yellow should be toned down a tiny bit. I have found that zinc chromate with a tiny bit of gray mixed in makes it the perfect color.

    Re: BRAND NEW BOBAMAKER ARMOR

    Great work big D.... I agree with some others that the Zinc you used appears to be a little bright? but I'm sure with a small mist or wash with grim should tone and bring it all together?
    SO when do we get to see th money' shot all the armour together and outside to see those subtle tones in the green...
