Gino's TZA RC Fixer build

[GiovanniDekkers]

I've been busy with this build since Febuary, I'm taking the armor parts for what they are, adjust where I want to adjust them.

As the Republic Commando is a rough Battle Commando , I see sertain flaws in the armor as a nice way to add battle damage, like scratches and dents.

Here's my progress so far, and am pretty satisfied with so far, though I had repainted some parts like the torso and arm parts.

This weekend I will try and finish the legs and start on the pack.

There were a few flaws with the helmet, but bondoed them and repositioned the black lines you see, I think it's a matter of adjusting it to your own taste, now that I did I can say it's something which belongs to me more, as I personalized it to my standards.

I hear some bad remarks about the TZA armor parts, but I don't understand the fuzz very much.

I almost have the armor done, the legs are assambled, will start painting them tomorrow, also the extra shouder cap with (armor/ammo on top, I don't know exactly what it is), I will use messing/brown to highlight some details.

Any suggestions on how to do it , are more than very welcome.

Today I did the shoulder add-on,

Was thinking about some sandy brown dust or maybe some slight black weathering, but will decide on that when the whole armor is done.

This is my shoulder cap, I painted it green first then used aluminium paint on the central part then added the black detailing and then weathered it using a fine airbrush spray of black and dry brushed it with burnt umber and yellow ochre to dirty it up. I then sealed it with matt varnish and dulled it down with fine wet and dry to take any excess shine off it.
