Looking great, nice paint up and great job with the fans. Should be a pretty sweet costume when done!

Are you painting topical or layered?
Looks good either way.

both to be honest for some reason i have a thing for to much yellow so after the green layer what ever yellow i feel is to much i lightly paint with a thin brush



thanks for the comments guys working on right side chest now pics up soon

I think it looks great man!

Looking good but I'd agree with you that the right plates weathering is a little on the large side? ie the top right 'stripe' and the mid left section...
I'm sure you will mist after but the decal needs some dirt on it too.

well i did shrink it a bit but all the paint brushing on top of airbrushed is starting to look a lil off...on the other hand it looks a lil like real damage:facepalm

hope the weathering covers it up a bit

This is what I did for another member here... hope it helps
