So heres few pictures, not much has changed really, added some tubes, ordered acrylic paint so i can finally start doing some painting on it, but also need to paint the lower part in silver grey before heavy weathering to give me the desired look.

 

[JediSauja]

Beautiful piece. The weathering is such a critical part of the look. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

So i finally started some more work on the breast plate, first time using paints for something like this
Now i need to add some rust/dirt colors and the stencils and it's almost finished...
More to follow

Everything looks nice! My only criticism is the 9 bullet “holes” all in one spot. It looks a bit unnatural in my opinion.

Maybe you ran into a centurion with consistent long range grouping XD

 

[GilliGen]

I agree, i wasn't sure with that, i wanted it to look like a shotgun bullet hit, but then the holes might be to big and to close ro each other.

 

[he4thbar]

Looks awesome! and yeah that must have been some CQC shotgun haha. still looks great though

 

[GilliGen]

Another picture with some small progress, added more colors to give it that damaged look. Started with the stencils, in the next couple of days i need to do the rest of them.

 

[GilliGen]

Here it is, breastplate is done
One more thing i have to do with it is the strapping system, which i'll add much later as it's very easy so no rush heree. Right, back to the mask

Blackwash is done, for the most part, at some points i actually managed to scratch the lower paint, the silver one, but actually like it because it looks worn more like this, need to add some rust now and then almost done with the helmet

 

[DaftRckr]

Man this just looks amazing... the detail in the print looks just divine… sorry I've been looking for the right detailed helmet and this is right on top of the rest. Good job Gilli, good ass job

I've used buffing metallizer lacquer paint that was shown on a video from Bill Doran over at Punished Props on youtube, Specifically the Starlord helmet and Starlord blasters video. Ill try and add the Links to the videos so you could check it out. Its very helpful and all you need is a paper towel and you can buff it to get that gun metal glare
