ARMOR WEATHERING UPDATE:
Hey gang! Tonight I weathered my back armor using a mix of acrylics. While doing so, I noticed that one of the “dents” was not aligned with the template from
RafalFett - I compared it to a few images and sure enough it was in the wrong spot.
So I did a trick that I read about on here, and heated up the backside of the armor with a lighter, then used the round, backside (handle) of a screwdriver to carefully push on the armor to make the dent in the location that matches the damage. I then did the same process to push out the old dent and make it flush again. Not bad, and after weathering it’s barely noticeable!
I also weathered my Jetpack straps. I wet them, then used a mix of pastels and acrylics on them. They are still wet in this image, so they’re darker than how they’ll end up once dry!
Lastly, a few items came with my armor from Fettpride, and I attached them. One is a metallic painted piece of plastic for the center diamond, and the other is a piece of aluminum for behind the 3 holes in the ab plate. I wanted these installed before I do my final weathering oversprays!
