  1. Quick question for you guys. My kit is glossy ABS and as such I didn't have plans to paint the armor save for the buttons and helmet details. What do you guys use to prep those areas for paint and is glossy ABS acceptable for Centurion level or does the suit need to be re painted gloss white first? The CRL's only specify hand painted details if I'm not mistaken. Thanks.

  2. Attended Walkerstalkercon at Boston this past Sunday. 22 celebs from The Walking Dead and various others were there. Alanna Masterson who plays Tara in season 3 almost tripped over her own table when she saw me shamble by. Seems shes a huge Star Wars fan and had to get a picture. :) Also, Meyrick Murphy who played The Governor's adopted daughter Meghan came over for a picture. Ming Chen and Bryan Johson from Comic Book Men were also there and were great to talk to. And of course I brought along a Jedi to keep me from eating anyone. If you get a chance to attend this one locally I highly recommend it. Its a fun convention. They estimated the crowd over the 3 days at about 15,000 attendees.

    Better than the blue but yeah a bit too green. I wouldn't do a repaint on it but tone it down in some places. The shade is nice there's just alot of it.  I realy like what you added to that right aerator though. I may steal that. ;)

     

    Thats what i thought on the green. My GML said its great.... Not sure, i mean, It's green....  Honestly i will be glad to get past this, this one was not so easy. Alot of things to get right, and not alot of reference material. 

     

    Thank you guys for the input. it helps alot.

     

    Thats just my preference. There is no one right way to do this and I think you did a fantastic job overall.

  4. Thanks, Christian. I had some other ideas what to do with that hose but decided to stop where it was because it was getting too busy and I've actually gotten compliments on that part. The extruded part gives it a sense of wrongness, I think, and I hope makes it a bit unnerving. Shortening it might make it loose some of the idea that its damaged and doesn't belong that way. I wanted it to be prominent. It doesn't have to make sense. It just needs to be creepy and believable. Have a little under two weeks to wrap this up but doesn't mean I won't revisit some of this stuff in version 2. :D

     

    And speaking of progress. Test fit for the fore arm reveal today.
