Jax Returns!

guess what? another question (surprise!)

so i finished cutting out my plates, and just applied the primer, and now one of several silver base coats. for weathiring i was thinking putting sealant over the silver coats so they dont scratch off, then painting over those coats with other layers, and then weathering it jax style
A.K.A throwing ur armor at big sharp pointy-esque things.
which would then scrath off different layers of paint, but never the silver

do you think thatl work?
 
not really sure. you might have to poly over the base coat. ive never painted plastic and weathered it. just stormtrooper stuff which is easy cause the base is always white.

i woudl say test it on a spare peice first...
 
rebuilt my shins this afternoon...here goes.

oh, and something im gonna shoot a video of me weathering, cause it'll be awesome the way im thinking of doing it....

lets see if you can guess... but i figured i'd start on them now before Hydra Finishes hers....

Holy **** man! Your armor is astounding. I'm completely dumbfounded at the way your whole suit goes together. It has fantastic continuity. By the way, how did you get your armor to appear so thick? It's only metal isn't it?
 
Midichlorians are irrelevent *chough*... anyways your not gonna tell a fellow mando who only respects your awsome craftsmanship and wishes to emulate your magnificant technique?
 
nope.

youve passed my inspection test. very good!

anyway, between the marine vinyl vest, the under vest, the flight suit and the tshirt of holding, you dont feel much.
 
SNAPS HUH?

let me know how that works. i may or may NOT use these on this one and maybe on yours...

we'll see.

here are some pics... i still don't like some of the individual parts.... but they are uberr easy to make so ill keep trying until i find a shape that works.

as for attaching, i was thinking that i could cut up a second pair of gloves and rivet these plates to them, than slip those over a 1st pair.

as for the weathering...it involved a peice of granite, a tree, and one of our corgi puppies....

...and to answer some questions....YES that IS a dark angels chapter badge on one shoulder. if youre gonna use some 40K deal, please choose a differnt one than mine. even for the DA's there are at least 25 different badges to choose from.
 
a few of you know but THIS can happen if your helmet is on top of a 7foot shelf in a garage with average heat of 120+, and it falls off.

i located some superglue (the stuff sucks, but maybe itll work for now, and glued the cracks and rubber cemented the back.

we'll see what happens. need to install a new visor. i ahev a few of those lying around, so at least THATS not a problem.

if you notice there is a med sized hole near the range finder. i have the peice that goes there, but it doesnt fit, and im not pulling it apart. so itll have to wait, or maybe back it with a poeice of steel, or something....

*UPDATE******

Sorry about your helmet mate, that sucks. I hope you get it repaired. Must have been a serious blast from artillery or something to bust your helmet like that ;) It's always good to have a survival story like that lol.
