Looking great love the torso armour!
When the 1st DH AVP series came out i sketched out a 3/4 armoured pred but had trouble with the upper armour.
Keep up the great work, great colours

Well done the majority of the full torso armour, and I think I am just about there with the look, just started the medpac which you can see om the first pic. not sure about the shoulder pouldrons though, look too sqaure? Anyway it was time for a first fit, and with my breath held, put it together and got the wifey to take some pics and here's the results! let me know what you yhink guys??!! finishing off cannon, feet and shins,butt and thigh armour tomorow, can't wait. The bio-organic look I wanted to achieve was basically done by applying a gel coat over the finished armour and pressing the brush on the still wet gel coat and pulling the brush gently away, it may take two or three attempts to get the right look you wish to obtain, but I think I haven't done to bad?!

soulsearcher,



That is major kick @$$, I'm just amazed at how you used the materials and how you got that ripple effect out of the paint!

I like how you took the AVP comic's amount of armor coverage and used the movie AVP armor style.... I love that style, very ornate.

This gets me motivated, thats for sure
