TK-0380

Brown ink and touch ups.

Got to work on the skull portion today. After priming and a flat black base I dry brushed by starting with acrylic Brown then brown mixed with antique white, antique white, antique mixed with titanium white then just titanium white. I'm going to be doing a brown ink wash followed by detailing the teeth, adding some green/yellow/black ichor at the gum line and making the teeth look more like enamel with a gloss coat.

Absolutely sick. This is turning out great.

Small progress. I may have trimmed a bit too much off but I think I can still work with it and the ears should cover any problems. If I get some decent weather I can actually get some painting done on the skull mask.

Love it. Love the exposed layers, too.

Love the weathering. Did you sand down to the primer layer or is that some sort of drybrush effect?

I just turned 46. All the parts are still working so I'll keep on going.

Some pics of the helmet build so far and some test fitting of the parts. I'm sure I'll have to adjust the lid more. Any advice?

Greetings guys. I recently recieved an ATA "B" helmet and I'm going the undead rout with it. I'm on the list for a compleate ATA suit to bring my TK up to current standards but the wait time puts delivery sometime around July or August. No rush and I'm looking forward to that project when it comes. In the mean time I'll be turning my old TK into a DT using the ATA and converting my trusty old FX to meet standards. I got to work on the helmet last night following the builds from some of the others going on here on the forums (great work btw) and I'l get some pictures up of my progresss so far once I'm home from work later today. Until then this is what I'm working with: I figure this will be a good way to practice and find out where the pitfalls on this build are going to be before getting into the TK build this summer.

I just got on the list myself. Trust me I'm watching this build closely. Very inspirational. Nice work. I haven't put together a helmet since I put my GF together sometime around 2005. Oh God those ears.
