It's their inherit reflexes. You can't teach that.

Awesome paint on the helmet! I especially like the rusting. Nice touch!

Did you do all this with the GW paint pots I spied in the pic?

Do the new paint pots with the pop-top have the drying out problem?

When they switched from the old-old pots to those horrible unscrew lids was the worst thing they ever did. My paint would dry out left and right and I refused to keep shelling out cash for something I had used very little of. I still have some of the old-old-old pots with the Gremlin on them and the paint in those is as fresh as new.

They made me so mad I had switched to Vallejo.
 
ummmm......

my first encounter with gw paints was in 9th grade, about 3 years ago. is was big into mage knights and painting them. so one year my aunt bought be a warhammer kit with paint and figures along with some mage nights form my birthday. when i used the paint for the first time, i was in love. i was using model paint which would run the brushes or never fully dried. then i went to acrylic paints, and they would chip off from time to time. anyways, the wg paints at the time were screw tops and about a year after i opened them, they became hard, and i got a little discouraged! But i found a game workshops store at a mall that was close to my house and i got some to custom some star wars figures. The paints i have now are screw tops and the tops also pop open....

Here is a costume figure i did of fosterkeri as a birthday gift, it doesnt look to much like him....meaning the face, but i tried to paint the armor as good as i could to his.

i made the guantlets out of pvc pipes, and other things, i will have to post pictures later....
 
That looks sweet dude. I still think you oughta add the skull emblem on the helmet. It gives it a bit more character.
 
i fear that may not come now, if it does it wont for a while. I am a member of the North Ridge, Buffalo New Yorks star wars fanforce, and my very good friend fosterkeri is now quiting, and selling his costume on ebay. I am now making a boba fett costume. After this last event, people were question who i was...."who is that?"..."is that boba fett?"..."Is he a good guy?"..."Is he a bad guy?".........i want to costume a character that people know right away and they dont have to question who i am....you know what i mean? anyways, what is a fanforce with out boba fett?

here is the link to fosterkeri's costume
