My Custom Design

I'm working on it vod!

I started laying down some black paint after applying masking fluid lastnight, planning out greebles for my gaunts and this morning I'm fibreglassing my biceps, collar and lumberplate.

Pics soon. ;)
 
Just a quick pic guys, here's my chest plate after some masking and a first layer of paint. I've done the cod too but the weathering is too heavy so I'll redo that. I've masked off cracks and chips on my ab plates and diamonds too ready for some paint in a bit.

Hopefully my green paint will turn up today too meaning I can crack on with my gaunts today! I'm hoping to have my upper body armor painted and have the webbing rigging all done by the end of the day tomorrow so fingers crossed I'll have some test fit pics on Monday? HOPEFULLY! :)

Anyway, here's the pic:

The lighting isn't great and this is my phone camera, but you get the idea. I'm trying to follow the weathering we see in the artwork I posted a while back by oneone1111.
 
Another pic. ;)

I think I peeled the masking fluid away too soon?? Normally it's fine but I think the damp weather here is playing a part in slowing the cure time down on the paint? :( Still, I can touch up the silver spots easily enough. :)

More to come...
 
Damp weather? In Wales? Surely you jest! ;)

Actually, perhaps I need to visit, It's never rained when I have been in Wales, strange fact!

Looking good bud!
 
Small update guys.

Got one of my flamethrower boxes mounted! I'm waiting on another one(coming from the US) before I mount it to the other gaunt(the green one). I'm also starting over on the green one paint wise as I ran out of green halfway through painting it so I'll mount the flame box, then repaint the whole thing. ;)

My shoulders got a shot of silver base as did my collar and remaining gaunt half! Same for my cod too as I wasn't happy with the first pass at weathering for it. My biceps are almost ready too but need another layer of rondo to fully smooth those out.

Got some supplies in this morning too so I'm good to go as soon as painting's done to start on the webbing rig for the body armor.

I think that's about it today so far?

Another update guys,

Lastnight I masked off paint chips and scratches on the armor that I'd finished and painted with the base silver. This morning I sprayed on the black. I'll post a few pics, the paint's still a little wet in the pics but since taking them I've done more masking and have now started to apply the shot of green to set my paint scheme up!

The paint's too wet to touch right now so there'll be another round of pics later. ;)
