I highly recommend Fettronics for the chest display. I have one and it is awesome.

Looking good

Back to painting. Hand painted the redish/brown damaged on the knees and shoulder as this was way too detailed to mask and airbrush. Hopefully will get to airbrushing the silver on yet this week.

Are you using Rafs stencils? As I know the brown looks more faded, yours is exactly like the stencils but those are more for showing the areas where the brown might be faded on to. I hope I am not talking wrong stuff, you should check it.

Look here (did found a better pic right know):

I am using Raf's stencils
I'll work to fade out the brown and post updated pictures. It is way too crisp at this point vs the reference pictures.

Thanks for the feedback before I clear coat! I obviously need to spend some more time with the reference pictures.

All right. Second attempt at the knees and shoulders. I took the originals back to a primer coat and redid them this weekend. I'm thinking they are looking better than the first attempt. Thoughts? Still have a bit of cleanup to do and apply the clear coat.

Sorry but this is far from the screen used look. You should look at other builds like this one:

Or here on my WIP:

All right. Take three on the shoulders.

Yeah! Thats MUCH better! Maybe hit the dark spots slightly with fine steel wool so they dont look that much like out of the spray can. Cool that you did the whole thing again...its truly worth it!

Take three on the knees.....

Did some weathering on the flight suit and pouches.

And lastly installed my Fetronics display in the chest. Started with electrical tape directly on the circuit board then held the entire display down with duct tape. Also put a clear piece of thin plastic down first to hopefully protect the display a bit....

Still need to put snaps on the flight suit to attach the knees. Other than that I'm just waiting on parts.... Orderd a cape, jet pack, and girth belt from Manowar. Until those parts arrive I guess I get a break.

Suit looks great! You can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Thanks! Getting closer but a long way to go still. Finished assembling the knees, snaps on the flight suit so had to do one more test fit. Mostly because I just wanted to put it all on again.

I did a light wash in the laundry of the flight suit and it appears that some of my weathering came off (it's a fair amount lighter in spots and I didn't use any detergent). How do you keep the weathering from washing out? I assume I'll wash the suit on a semi regular basis so it doesn't smell rancid after trooping and I don't want the weathering to come out.......

 

[Greg Schlueter]

Looks awesome

 

[TK50175]

It looks good now. In my eyes it was a bit to much before the washing. I dont wash mine very often, I just dont let it sweated in the box...always give it one day hanging in the fresh air directly after trooping.

By the way: you need to shorten your flakvest.

Looking nice man!

Received my jetpack today from ManOwar. I haven't been able to find any stencils for the jetpack like Raf had for the armor. Does anyone know where I can find any stencils for the jetpack?
