justjoseph63[Staff] Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 It's about time, LOL!!!! Looking great, trooper! Outstanding job on the armor weathering... not too much, not too little. The only thing I would do is weather up that pack. It looks a bit "new out of the box". I suggest using the "dry brush" technique on the edges, and for the the flat surfaces: 1. Take a can of silver spray paint and a can of flat black spray paint (both enamel for durability). 2. Spray about half a teaspoon of each into a wide plastic container, keeping them separated. 3. Using a smooth rag, dab it into the silver, then the black. Smear it onto a piece of cardboard to mix, then gently rub it on to the surfaces. You can test out the look on the cardboard first. 4. If it doesn't look exactly like you want, you can always hit the surface with the black and start over. You can use the pure silver in the tray for dry brushing the edges, but I suggest doing the rag thing first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuumantroop[TK] Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Thanks all! And no not exactly "full time" hwt lol. Only when I can. It will help bring variety when we have an influx of ANH tks at troops down here as well. Thanks Joseph for the advice! I used a metallic silver to dry brush weathering on, but it may have been just too subtle. I recently(late last night) found my testors "flat aluminum" paint again after cleaning my craft room, so i will most definitely be adding onto it. I didn't want to over do it just yet, but I do agree that the pack could use some more, thanks for the weathering tips and all of your time and patience in aiding me with the build!

ukswrath[Staff] Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hey Andrew thank you for your HWT application and thank your for making the requested updates. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All requested photos are present and your armor meets all the requirements set out for EIB. Sly and myself would like to congratulate and welcome you Expert Infantry! Great job Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we'll discuss observations either made by your fellow troopers or just Sly and myself. Though the suggestions are to make you look your best, none will effect your EIB application. The only suggestion we have at the moment would be for you to weather your E-ll a bit, should look a little battle worn like the rest of the armor. Also, though it's not a requirement a BFG would look awfully nice with this HWT Excellent work trooper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuumantroop[TK] Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Woohoo!! Thanks Sly and thanks Tony! I may be a victim of poor lighting on my e-11 lol. But i will most definitely be adding some more as suggested . As for the BFG, I have a troopable Dlt-19 made from the Hasbro clone build a blaster as a base, and am abot to endeavor on a scratch built T-21 or a RT-97C It is truly an honor to have this armor approved by you guys, I could not have done it without the help here on FISD. Thank you all for your hard work and continuous thread of modifications and sometimes shiney white plastic spacemen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
