Starting my first Mando today

passed all my classes! im so happy! lol the new semester is a fresh start, but the math is already stressing me out :/ oh well. I finally pulled out the helmet yesterday and still wasnt very happy with it. Im just gonna paint it and see how it goes
 
good news everyone! I got everything painted!!! I know ur probably expecting a picture right now but that will have to wait due to the fact my computer has quit on us... It's a ggod thing I can access this site over my iPod. The wireless still works thankfully. Pictures in due time :/
 
thanks.. I'm going to try and hook my camera up to my laptop later today (finally got that working) and post some pics :D. Oh and I still don't have the tan paint.. Can't seem to find any so I'm kinda lost there
 
here they are.. please be nice (cause i know its not great)

i still need to dirty it up and get the tan on there. It looks decent when its by itself but once i put it on it looks terrible.. i guess this one was just a good learning experience. I really need to use cardstock instead of plain paper next time!

oh and i got these for christmas :D

thanks... I have the killstripes on now with only a small ammount of difficulty. I know I'm going to have a hard time with the jaig eyes.. Not sure what a a good way to do it is, any ideas?
 
Levi, I LIKE IT!! Your bucket looks like you've been through hell and back, I hope the armor looks as beat up, it'll give your Mando a hard a$$ look ;)
 
you could use charcole (?SP) pencil and sand it into a little pile and rub the dust into cracks and crevases (?SP)
You can also use shoe polish and rub it on and wipe it off, it'll fill the little imperfections nicely and give it a carbon burn look.
