GM5214's WIP

[boba]

I am cleared now but I thought I would post my WIP to help others

First off after a lot of trawling and waiting we managed to get the last 5 SGB lids that will be made


We have also ordered the chest and back plate from Dan Laws that is on its way.
We have bought various greeblies from people on clone.net and from Steelblitz some amazing rubber straps.

I have set about making the armour bits
the ribbed shoulder is my own biker shoulder master I made with embeded hoops so the form has them on them, no sticking down plastic hoops!


Ok here we go..what i have so far, I have formed the handplates but they are at school, the wood master is the top of the forearm, I have the lower as well. I am re doing the biceps as I did them wrong. I have the template to do the elbows, these will be cut from a flat sheet then shaped.
I have all the rubber straps and metal greeblies, the jump suit is grey..looks blue LOL









OOOO here are the 'Laws' chest and back plate!
NICE 8) 8) 8)





yey! got my paint today from amazon!

Painted it all up ..nice!

heres the backpack!! The beaker lid is going to be the TD end caps, I have taped this together but the real ones will be glued LOL





done some more to the lid, I have sprayed it, the claret is quite wild even with a black base so I have done a very very light mist of black and it looks amazing. I have made the lower shroud and where you can see my blue line I am going to add more plastic to make the rest of the face thats missing, then the veil will go on! nearly done.
Also have done the green lenses!







elbows now done..



done the belt now !



Well here we go... I have kitted up with what i have so far.. not to much more to go...(little tip for the future.. dont do it in a mirror! the shoulder bells are on the wrong shoulder :oops: )



heres some close ups of the lid..


just a few more pics.. should have a very near finished pic soon!



done my boots, made a mock up of a vacformed but covered front pouch that can hold the romfx, the resin bits on the go!



YEEE HAHH!!!!
Nearly there!!!!



Here we go ... some pouches.. LOL I have my romfx in one and speaker in the other



Ok nearly done.. I have ben weathering now and as Sev and Purge have said..dirt dirt and more dirt.. I have done this.. I think i have got it right LOL Kevs un-weathered set is on the right..mine on the left LOL




and hot off Sarah Bloors sewing machine... the backpack rear pouches..


already tweaking! LOL
Kev found these round head bolts at work so we have chopped them off and glued them on the backpack rather than the painted head that was in built. Also the correct plate added to the left elbow, there isnt one on the right.



more....lol
the epilet monut pic is the opposite shoulders.. the left plate on the right shoulder so you can see how it fits.

Boba,

What method did you use to weather your costume?

What did you use to add the elbow detail to the shoulder?

[boba]

I lightly sanded down all the armour so it wasnt shiney then used watered down black acrylic wiped on and off to dirty it up, the extra bit on the elbow was some spare plastic, I can pop a bit in the post to you mate

[CloudStrife7]

That'd rock. Thanks. I'll send payment tomorrow when I get paid.
