I was hoping to get my knee armor done today, but I've made good progress over the past few days.

The knee armor was one of the first things I made for the costume and they've come a long way since then, they also gave me the confidence to be able to pull off some of the more complicated pieces of armor. I originally used WOF's templates and used them again for the reconstruction.

I added some weathering using a wet-on-wet technique, I'm not particularly talented with this kind of stuff, but it came out alright. I also added a clear coat to even everything out

My dart launchers are made of pieces of PVC pipe shoved onto a dowel, the tips are pieces of aluminum pipe which were leftovers from when I made my jetpack harness. I countersunk the pieces into the dowel so the tips would stay in place (hopefully). The cone shaped launcher is actually the tip from a giant novelty pen glued to a piece of dowel, the two pieces separated and I had to re-glue them, partially why I can't continue. Hopefully tomorrow I can get it put on and add in my velcro, then I should be good to go.
