If you put a dent in a Clonetrooper or Stormtrooper

No silver... It's white throughout. All clonetroopers and stormtroopers only have dirt and black scuff marks. All weathering should be topical. The only clone who has silver underneath is Commander Gree, but that is his paint job. If your base color is white, then it should be white throughout the whole armor.

I love the zeal that FBK has for the purity of the whiteness of our beloved clone armor! Don't you all know it is plastoid. NO SILVER!!!! What HE Said! :eek

If it is not metal underneath the white, then how do we explain the edge wear in this picture?
The picture depicts Commander Cody's in Revenge of the Sith when he receives order 66. It is from a HD screen capture, at 2× magnification.

You mean dirt

No it's painted where the armor was scraped, not brown like dirt; it's steel or black.

Just do what you want. Unless you're trying to get into the 501st. Then you'll have to hear what the official line is. I my self like the steel look under the paint. Here's my Republic Commando Armor that I'm working on.

That's sweet Jedistine!

I'd like to see someone to do a black set of Commando armor like they wore in "Triple Zero".

Thanks. The Black armor is being made. Check out http://clonetroopers.net/forum/index.php?showforum=7 there are a few people working on the Omega squad armor.

I don't see silver/metal.

The OT troopers had black wear markings on the chestpiece like that. It was from the black paint on the blasters rubbing off on the armor.

I agree, no way to tell that is paint rubbing off as opposed to just scuff marks. If you look at the big chunk taken out of Cody's armor on the upper left chest you can see it is white all the way through.

Considering all the scuff marks and scrapings that affect replica armor, even white armor can end up looking that way. Armor is a plastic product in reality and the SW universe; cheap and easy to manufacture. Books call it "plasteel", and the VD calls it a plastoid composite.
I quote the Visual Dictionary:
"Their armor lasts indefinitely and may still be found half-buried at decades-old battle sites."
Sounds like plastic to me :cool
