This is one of Kev's animated suits. I haven't seen a camo yet, so I picked that version. I taped of the first layer (about 1 hour per piece), then used the airbrush for the rest of the shapes and shading. A total of 2 colors in various mix combos.
Today I'm finishing up the paint on the legs. It will probably take all day. I will be carrying my gatling gun with this suit.
Man, that is SWEET!!! Keep posting, bro!
wow thats awesome
110% Craig, I can't wait to see this in person soon!
Dude,
That rocks. I thought it was like the current ACU pattern, but see that it isn't. Outstanding work.

Amazing. You can see the hours that must have gone into this. Excellent colour match too BTW, I love those guys.
Amazing!!! Did you scratch build everything???
Nevermind, saw it was a kit...hehehe. Still rocks!
that's looking awesome!!
Never seen one of these suits of armor. Should look good. Can't wait!!!
WOW!!:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup :thumbsup:thumbsup
looks great,,,,,,but...........some of the parts of the camo seem to big or not chopped up enough. the helmet looks great but on the chest there is a big patch on the right hand side that needs to be cut up more. other than that, i think you nailed it.
good job.
Nice, of all the Ep III clones this one is by far my fav
I will probably be doing this one next (been wanting to do this costume ever since I saw them on the big screen). Very nice job, man!
All done except the shoes. Now I need to start strapping it up.
That, my friend, is some simply jaw dropping paint work. Very tidy. Well done, you're going to look amazing!. :cheers
WOW
Just...
Wow
Amazing
Sweet looking job there my friend. From what I've seen that is some good looking camo ARF trooper armor. Again awesome job!!!
The actual finished product makes the CGI rendering look cheap! Awesome job, man, through and through. :)
WOW - That looks awesome. These guys were the only saving grace of the movie (imo). I was happy with my white ARF build-up, but this thing rocks ! Excellent work !
:cheers
That is one of the most incredible paint jobs I've ever seen. Excellent work!
Thanks guys, especially Mike. His stuff is always rockin.
UNFLIPPINBELEAVABLE!
Nice work!
BLOWN AWAY THAT PAINT JOB IS DEAD ON GREAT JOB DUDE
wow......that rocks!!!!!!
Used 2 steel washers and an aluminum rivet to attract the magnetic closure for the side box. One washer on each side of the rivet had a stringer bond than just one washer. Also got some strapping done.
super nice. you need to do a how too thread to show us how you did such a great paint job.
Amazing work on the armor there vod. Most impressive as Lord Vader would say LOL! But seriously you have really out done yourself on this armor. By the painting you have done on it it must of have taken a while to do.
If I totaled the time of paint only, it would probably be about 4 days, 5-7 hours a day. I did a couple pieces at a time, so I didn't have to keep mixing paint. I wanted it all to match and be from relatively the same mix batch.
copied from the Legion boards:
The armor is weathered first, per Kev's tutorial. The main shapes are taped off. I tried to make them connect in some way. No pattern, just random directions and shapes, trying to focus on the right angles of "digial camo." Shot that with a rattle can of Model Masters "Euro 1 gray." Untape it. retape some larger shapes that go over the existing work and tie a couple of shapes together. Untape that. I rub the whole piece with a 3M scuff pad between each step to help blend and spread some of the green tint from the gray color into the white.
Then it's all airbrush shading and template work. The greenish color is called dunklegrun 17. It's green, but I mix a little of the Euro 1 with it to tone down the green. I have 3 thin cardboard templates with various shapes and angles cut into the perimeter. I use it in a way similar to that of Mike Lavalle. He does realistic flames on hot rods and custom cars. If you've ever seen his work on Rides, or Overhaulin', you kinda get an idea of how it works. During the shading, shapes will start to reveal themselves and I just shade and build off the new shapes...........basically.
little more progress. Should be able to wear this on Halloween.
Lucky...Well, can't say the rest, but lets just say I'm jealous. lol j/k
Happy for ya, man. That is one sweet labor o love your gonna be wearin. :)
I literally had 2 minutes to put a few pieces on to test fit. Still have some adjustments to make and I didn't even have a chance to get the upper part of the undersuit on. The space in the knees will close once the shoes are on. Also a pic of the finished gatling gun with the front sight installed.
Pictures from Halloween yesterday. Suit is 100% with the exception of some needed foam in the lower legs. :cheering:cheering
