Chest and belly armor done!
Touched up areas where black paint didn't stick and where the silver had rubbed off when I was removing the masking toothpaste. Also added Mando Skull (bantha? mythosaur? something an artist made up?) and "weathered" it. Dremeled in the scratches. Dent was made by heating the chest plate and applying pressure using the corner of my counter top and repeated. Sealed with Plaid Matte Acrylic Sealer.

Tip: make sure you have the light holes cut before you paint, the bending from cutting them out might chip your paint off. I had to repaint a fist sized portion surrounding the holes.

[QUOTE="VariablePenguin, post: 292670, member: 4454"] Chest and belly armor done! :thumbsup: Touched up areas where black paint didn't stick and where the silver had rubbed off when I was removing the masking toothpaste. Also added Mando Skull (bantha? mythosaur? something an artist made up?) and "weathered" it. Dremeled in the scratches.
