Can't wait to see it finished!

[TheSwede[TK]]

Thanks for the kudos all Hoppfully it will all come together #fingerscrossed.

 

Added gold in the cracks and realized I missed a few bigger goldspots that will be sprayed on. 

Slow `n steady

Adding the red.....using sprayglue but incase I want to redo it`s just a matter of tearing it off so no worries there.

Looking good 

[TheSwede[TK]]

Adding weathering....using acrylics so it`s easily reversable if needs be. I´ll leave it for now and see how I like it.

 

 

 

 

 

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

I used the same for weathering, works well and easy to remove or add on if required 

[TheSwede[TK]]

Shins are now finished (with the option to rework if I feel like it). Cracks, gold, ribbons and weathering added.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[TheSwede[TK]]

Cracks and gold added to the abdomen

Interesting you continued the crack from the abdomen over the belt.

Being separate pieces but the crack continuing, mind you we don't really know how the armor was damaged.

Yeah I just figured since they are hard parts and connected it’s plausible although a bit unexpected 

[TheSwede[TK]]

Added some larger patches of gold.

 

 

Weathered the midsection and checked how it all looks together and.....

 

Aren´t you a little short for a Stormtrooper..?

 

 

 

[TheSwede[TK]]

Just relaxing after I added cracks and gold to the thighs and some weathering on the boots...

 

Then there`s the wraps...

 

..weathering....

 

 

 

 

...and I guess that`s it.

 

 

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Very nice work, as per usual 

[TheSwede[TK]]

Decided to refurbish an old armor bin into something more fitting for the Night Trooper. There`s still work to be done, like padding and red fabric for the interior and some bigger areas of gold and possibly also gray, some greeblies and some red ribbons to tie it off

Anyway, it`s a start.

Added the interior padding, larger patches of gold and gray and the wraps. Did a lot of testing with the wrapping and had a hard time deciding if I should treat the whole box as a unit but ended up wrapping the lid and box separate. As always, I can always redo it. Just waiting on some stencils to arrive so I can paint some red cogs and it will be "finished".
