New pictures, sorry for the quality I'm using my phone until I get my real camera back:
Here's what I have of my blaster so far, I just put the scope on there for the overall look. I still have to paint and weather it. I'm thinking of making a new barrel for it out of pvc:

Here's the chest plate. This is the trash can parts I cut out, I'm just using them to practice my painting. I've ordered some sintra so I'm just waiting for that to come in. The color is really off, the right part shows the color a little better but it's still off:

I could only work on my armor in between classes and work so that's why it is coming along slowly. I've been tempted so much to call in sick at work or to skip class to work on my armor :lol:

Oh yeah what speed do you set the dremel to cut sintra? Also another question, how do you make gauntlets that cover your arm all around? I don't mean the whole arm but how do you attach them so that it looks like one piece? I don't know if that makes sense, I want to make my own custom gauntlets but I don't know if I should make them one piece and somehow slide my hand in or make them two pieces.
 
I'm thinking maybe I overdid it with the masking fluid, ha ha. Well it is supposed to be from SWG and you do get shot A LOT in the game. The sintra armor will have the different shape for the collar and chest plate. The shoulders also need the gold coat. I forgot what I was gonna ask...
Well next question then. The blaster has a big hole in the top where the water tank screwed in, how can I cover it up? Here's a picture:

Man I really wish I could remember what my main question was...

EDIT: OK I remember now! How can I add dents to the armor?

Make 2 pieces then use industrial velcro to hold them together. Works like a champ and they don't come off. I break parts off before mine come apart if that's any consolation.

As far as the dremel goes, around mid speed works ok (5-7ish). Anything faster then that is gonna throw crud all over you and get the sintra melting.

Everything looks great for practice.

If your not planning on using the gun for it's original function again...then just fill it with bondo and then paint it.
 
Su'cuy vode, I got another question. I know I have a lot of them, but I couldn't find anything with search. I was looking through all the custom weapons on here, when my little brother came over and saw the modded nerf guns. He told me he had the nite finder and he gave it to me to use. I was looking on ebay for a holster to add to my belt to carry it as my sidearm, but I don't think the gun would fit in any of them. Does anyone know any that it would fit into? If not how do you make custom holsters?
 
I don't know if you have an ACE hardware ( or porbably any hardware store for that matter), But for construction workers tool belts they have holsters for drills and what not. They were between 10 to 15 dollars each. So might be another option for you
 
Hagen has a really good idea there, and a very good one at that. It's also not very hard to make holsters of your own if you choose to. I made my own pistol holsters outta leather and they work great.
 
Ok, I've done plenty of things now, I'll be posting pictures soon. I'm working on my helmet right now, it's a rubies Jango helmet. I'm gonna get a bm helmet later on, but for now this is what I'm using. I've been sanding it til the paint comes off and it is blue. Is this what I'm supposed to do, or am I doing more work than I need to?
 
I wouldn't sand it to far down or you may make it to thin in parts. Your best bet is to just rough it up so that primer will stick, then put your paint on.
 
Thanks everyone, I guess I'm my own worst critic, I haven't liked anything I've done so far. My sister keeps telling me everything is looking good, but all I see are the flaws in my work ha ha. Here's the armor I have so far:

My helmet:

and my sidearm so far, I still have to add some more to it before I paint it:

I'm going to Florida next week, and then on the 25th I'm going to San Francisco for an anime convention, I would like to have something wearable by then. After that I will upgrade my chest plate and collar into the swg style. I also have a very cool idea for my gauntlets, but it'll take to time for me to actually figure out a way to make them.
