Baylan Skoll / Shin Hati Dark Jedi Costumes - Ahsoka (Series) Star Wars

Those of you who have done his armor pieces, what color are you using for the paint? I’ve 3D printed them in black ABS but am not too sure what color paint to use.

I've tried several different coatings, and finally settled on Duplicolor black rocker coating; it's a matte finish with a slight texture to it, which goes well with the hammered look of the 3D printed pieces.

I then used an acrylic craft paint turquoise wash (that I wiped off, leaving the highlights)... I like the look that has resulted.

Oh that looks great, I think I’ll go with that! I have two sets so I can experiment with one to figure out what exactly looks best.
 
Some folks add a slight silver dry brushing on top of the turquoise... I haven't done it to mine yet, but I may try it to see the result.

Wow...that's an awesome Baylan kit!

Like yourself, I'm working on one, but I'm in it for the long term and have no desire or aims to join any organized costume group...after 17 years of being in an 'organized' Mando club, I'm ready to be free to do my own interpretations, :)

I finally managed to finish my costume, I made some updates to the painting of the armor parts, but I need to improve some things on the clothes. Anyway, I liked the result.

Speaking of fabrics... you may have noticed that the top piece in the ¿gambeson? of Shin in his first intervention IT APPEARS to have been made of a fabric other than suede, almost like tanned leather_ examples_
