    Completed my upper armor, yet to be weatherd.

    Here is my armor I made from sintra and used Rouge Studios Floquil US MED GREEN. I got the templates from Jodo_Kast, and made small modifications myself.

    I then used the photos of the armor on Boba Fett Reference cd and in Photoshop scaled them to fit the template and then copied the damage marks on a piece of tape and cut out to shape and put on my armor in the right place and painted.




    I securely fastened them with bolts to the west. I still have to weather the armor will do so in the next days. Wanted to let it dry completely.

    Looking good mobius!

    I am glad you posted the pics with US Med Green, as when I paint with it I am not sure if the colour looks correct. Although now that I see your pictures the colour is awesome!

    Like the idea on the damage

    Seeker,

    You can order of the Testors Website if you live in continental US

    Re: Completed my upper armor, yet to be weatherd.

    Here are the templates that I got from Jodo_Kast, the changes I made to the oceral form are not here as I did that on the cardboard that I cut out first. But these are the damages I made in Photoshop. I took a picture of the real armor of the refrence cd, than I scaled it to fit the template. Made a new layer and copied the marks.

    Those who want the Photoshop file of this file PM me. Than I will send you 3 files, 1 for each armor and you can print it in A4 size.

    Than use what meothood you prefer to copy them on the armor. I cut out the mark i wanted and taped that over a masking tape and than cut it out with an X-acto knife.

    Holy ****, I passed over this post a few times and never saw that you had used my templates. Woot!!!

    I love the mods you made - the damage overlay is sweet!
    Did you use the large size or did you tweek the size as well. I am in the process of upgrading to a size between large and X-Large.

    On a related note, is your armor from sintra? You bevelled it really nicely.

    I used the X-large sized templates you gave me, I found that the others were to small. I´m 1.80 sm and 83 kg. My armor is from sintra.
