Veist[501st] Posted March 28 Author Report Share Posted March 28 First parts are painted. These are the easy parts that only have one colour Im painting the golden cracks later when i have everything else painted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veist[501st] Posted March 29 Author Report Share Posted March 29 Some painting updates. Im painting the golden cracks and do weathering when the chestplate is ready, to make it all the same. Kama still the old, but the size of the parts look good i think. Probably have to make the main belt bigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 You may need to reduce the size of your shins as you have a lot of room space showing in them and they do look a little large from the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i thought about that too, but i dont really know how i can do that. Dunno how and where i can make it tighter. This is the standard size of 850armorworks shins Edited March 29 by Veist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veist[501st] Posted March 30 Author Report Share Posted March 30 Kama will be extended to get the correct lenght (Kama has the same lenght as the distance between kama top and helmet top) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i found a possibility. I can make a straight cut at the sides, and overlap the front with the back. That will make it tighter and i just have to clean the line. Update: I have now cutted, and glueing right now. We will see in a few days how the result is, but the fitting fest looked good.

Veist[501st] Posted April 1 Author Report Share Posted April 1 First leg is done. Looks way better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veist[501st] Posted April 1 Author Report Share Posted April 1 (edited) So i mistook the right and left shin. The openings are now are the outside. Although i did not found any clue in the crl if it has to be so or they have to be on the inside. What i will do: cover the cracks with abs sludge and remake them on the correct leg, so that the opening will be on the inside Edited April 1 by Veist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 It's definitely an area many have to play with, appears you have the width in the sides/wings and also the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veist[501st] Posted April 5 Author Report Share Posted April 5 (edited) So i heard some use gold leaf to make the gold areas. Will that be necessary or is "normal" gold color like mine fine too? Since my gold color matches the gold of the show Edit: i saw in the CRL creation thread that gold leaf for the cracks is just for Lvl 3 certification?

Won't know for sure until the CRL is finalized, there has been little input there to date, but I would think it would be L2 or L3 and not required for basic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Glen says, it's not final but as it stands no leaf until Lvl3. I suspect that will stand for cracks, but I do want to ask about if we want leaf for the armour, not cracks, at level 2 as it is such a major part of the look of this costume. Though I can't imagine basic ever requiring it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veist[501st] Posted April 17 Author Report Share Posted April 17 (edited) So, a bunch of photos: First, the blaster. Definitely bigger than i thought^^ Second, the chest and backplate, assembled with tape Third, me holding the chest as a size reference, yes i need to adjust the abs-plate Then my figurine with the helm, chest/back and the abs-plate There is some evidence in the show, that the top of his abs-plate is visible under the chest/back. If not allowed, i have to cut the abs-plate Edited April 17 by Veist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
