Did some armor painting today. I also worked out the shape a bit as well.

First to go down after the primer was a flat brown with about 40% black. I wanted a dark base, but not black. After that I went with just some flat brown. I kept it dark around the edges to give it some depth/contour. I also added a bit of red brown.

I've looked at a lot of reference photos from the film and it seems like the armor is actually pretty dark. Darker than some of the costume builds I've seen. So I hope I've struck a good balance.

I'll finish it off with a clear matte coat.
