trash armor..what you think?

hi, I just finish some trash armor.....still need millons thinks to do........tell me what you think about it............now I´m finishing the cod..........is too light green? will I look like a frogg?

I think it looks good!

Nice weathering job!

it looks great! how thick is it?

Armour is looking good! What paints did you use?

You might want to fix the shoulder studs though, the are not set like that. Even them up keeping them offset around the edges.

-thanks JoNich
-thanks, Sarlaccbits I like how it´s getting you helmet painted
-it´s 0,4 cm infraFett....
-GCNgamer128 I have use the following colors: a can of primer grey, silver, yellow(standard), "maquina" green, "abeto" green, a brown-green wash ,a black ink wash, and finally a white mist....for the scratchs, I use the mustard sistem sorry, but I live in Spain so the colors names are a little weird, but I buy them in a paint store just to experiment..........now I´m working in the cod part, when it´s finish I will show it here......
thanks!

looking good! as was commented above, the shoulder studs are in the wrong place, but otherwise it's nice. great job on the paint! i love seeing when people use what's available to get the job done rather than hunting the exact paints... i think it's more fun that way

Great job on the painting and weathering. Have you already painted your helmet? If not, I'd suggest you do just so the armor colors and weathering match that of the helmet. If you have already painted it, would you mind shwoing some pics of that? By the way, which Fett version are you doing ?

thankss so much!......you mean something like that?

still not have a bucket ..........but hope soon I will

I will go with the ROTJ.........hope.

Frogs are cool Sweet armor, you should be proud.

Yeah, that's the right idea. Here's pic of mine if it will help:

ok, thanks for the help!! I will change it............
yes, frogs are cool, in the words of kermit "it´s good to be green"
-wow Jimmy, this collar rocks!! thanks again

That looks wicked awesome!! Very nice armor and blaster! Are the shoulder bells in the second pic more accurate to the color they actually are? Because they look pretty accurate there, as opposed to the really yellow they look in the first pic. Nice job!

thanks MandoMan!!, yes, this is the color that they look.......they come out from a pvc pipe, and I really happy how they come out.........
in this days, I will add the decals, and start with the knees.........

Woah, those shoulders were made from pvc pipe?! That's amazing! I never thought that would turn out well, but you've proved me wrong! I can't wait to see the decals and knee progress!

yes, Mando, I use a hot-gun to re-shape them and make them more flat.. and I guess that it could be usefull to make the knees and the gauntlets(I have allready make the half of one, and I think they could look good, too) let´s see how they end........
thanks!!

Wow, for trash armor that looks great.

thanks Donnie!

SWEET!

thanks so much! here a update of the shouder with decals, and the knee almost finish( wheatering is still missing)......

those are lookin great. Love the knee darts

hey, here are some pics of the other knee, unasembled, unpainted to see how it look it before..............

You've got the right idea!

Now build Yoda's Mandalorian Armor!

awsome paint job man!

What are the little doohickeys that you used for the knee darts, they look cool.
Great job by the way.

This is amazing work. I may have to go this route.
Does the paint stick good to the trash can plastic and plastic pipe? does it scratch off easily?

so i guess since this is back up at the top again, i'll chime in. what did you use to create the dents in the chest, stomach, and cod? a heat gun and a little bit of pressure? or was there something a bit more devious involved?

........thanks, whitewulf!!!!!
the darts are made with a used printer carbridge connector....
the paint stick really good, I give it 2 hands of primmer.......
and yes, saint nasty, I used a heat gun on these one´s.....also in the dent in the pvc helmet I´m builiding on.........
thanks to all!!!

Wicked cool! What diameter PVC pipe did you do for the shoulders?

great looking trashcan armor. i have a set that i played around with before i started posting. when i go home later this month (hopefully) ill get some pictures of it for ya
