Corrected the color on my right hip pouch this morning. I airbrushed over with Tamiya deck brown and misted grey over it to pull back the saturation slightly.

Beautiful
Thanks man. For my next trick, denting my chest armor. Freaking out!
So almost a year back, Fett 4 Real pointed out that my right chest plate was missing a dent, but I didn't know how to resolve it until Sean bh19812 posted his process recently on his awesome build thread (THANK YOU!). I applied heat from under the plate with a gas lighter just long enough to soften the material, then carefully pressed in with the handle of a diamond file to form the dent. And voila!

Damn bro that’s better than mine ! Well done
Thank you so much brother! Your YouTube video gave me courage to do it!
And finally, I completed the cape plate assembly. Yes I made a boo boo on the hole placement. Hopefully this won't be an issue with my submission.
I just need to do some touch up and find a way to get my submission photos done!

Credit where it's due, Bobamaker did the beautiful paintwork on my armor. All of it.
Your build is coming along very nicely man. Loving the detail work you're putting into it.
Submission ver 2.0. Now we wait.

What flight suit make is that?
I got the base flightsuit with my Bobamaker kit and added a Batninja neck seal and additional ankle ties. It's also been altered significantly to fit me better.

It looks fantastic! I have a BM flight suit also and looks a lot more 'blue grey' so just wondered if it was lighting.
Mine was blue-grey too, but I've weathered it with shades of brown and the studio light probably washed out the blue in these photos.

It looks spot on! Ill probably be using mixture of brown and black dirty down to weather it up so hopefully I can get the same effect!
Appreciate your vote of confidence Don! Hope to share good news in the next week or two...or eventually.
I recommend spritzing some water on the fabric before you apply your weathering medium. The damp fabric will react with the paint and produce natural weathered aesthetics. Have fun and good luck!
Excellent thread. Your eye for the little details has given you a top shelf suit.
Thank you Mr Fett.
