With the impending launch of Halo3, I finally decided it was time to repaint my life size Muckle MC statue. The statue is a really nice sculpt that has been recast by several people to make wearable armor. The paint job it came with really sucked though and had that "mass produced" look to it. It was screaming to be repainted.

Looks great. Are you using a sponge with the silver paint? Or is it dry brushed?

Thanks! Actually neither of those techniques was giving me the right look. I did it with a large paint brush that I sprayed with silver pant. I used the side of the brush to get the edge highlights and the bristles for the scratches and small chips. Takes a bit of practice to get it right.

Well technically part of that IS drybrushing ;)

Almost done. Just need to do a little detail work and he should be all set for the H3 launch in Seattle. :thumbsup

Not bashing, but... all this for a damn video game.

I played Halo1 before it was ever released for a focus group. Definitely a cool game, but had no idea it would get this wildly popular. This is probably bigger than Mario or Street Fighter, haha!
 
I don't feel the halo 3 is much better than halo 2. In fact it is quite the same. If they come out with the movie....ever, it should have a good box office draw although that doesn't guarantee that it will be worth a crap.

Great work on the statue though. Looks awesome!
 
Thanks for all the compliments. I completely forgot I even started this thread! :rolleyes

New pics are on first post. I'm very happy with the results although I think I'm going to weather him even more.

Might have something to do with this thread being started over a year ago and the last post in this thread being nearly a year old.
