Neat. Your damage is all a bit too uniform for my tastes, but to each his own. It looks like you could do with some cleaning up on the inside part of the chest diamond. Additionally: I don't know if it's the angle, but the two chest plates seem slightly different shapes. It's probably just the angle of that first picture though.
Pretty sweet work for an 11 year old!
 
It's always good to hear from another junior mando.
I like what you're goin for, white mandos realy stand out. The layering looks good, but I think a little more battle-damage would realy set it off. You could try sponging on some mat black or dark brown paint (practice on a board or something before you have a go at the armor:lol:).
It's realy shaaping up, man(y). can't wait to see the rest (hint*hint*updates*hint*hint:D)

Best of luck, man. I'm sure it's gunna be great.
 
i notice your using painters tape , have you heard of masking fluid ? it is a bit expensive about 25 bucks a bottle , use cheap paint brushes the latex clogs up the brushes , but if thats too much for you go with tooth past iv never used it but other have , trust me the weathering looks a lot better this way

THX! I will check it out. hmm Toothpaste.....



How would I get the sharp claw damage look with Toothpaste?

use a detailed paint brush

Ok I have a question, what should I cut my visor out of? what should I use for the materials Poster board, Cereal boxes ect ?
not sure if i understand the question , you want to make your own visor ? get a hold of Acrylic plastic then your going need to tint it your self or you can buy one from t-visor.com

I would take some sand paper to the damage areas to make them less like they were taped off and more random...I would also dirty up the white like stated above. Maybe some pastels instead of sponging paint on...use some brown and black...I think your doing a great job. Just need to get some more character to the armor is all...it on the way there.
 
thx man, oh and about the paint where would I sponge it?

I have a collar ready and done BUT my stupid computer won't upload the file!!!!!!!

No prob, man. You just cut out a piece of pakaging foam, spray some spray paint on a paper plate (enough to make a little puddle), and then dab the foam in the paint, and then dab it on your armor. Like I said before, you want to try this on something else first, so you can get the hang of it.
Hope this helps.
