Good evening;
Thank you for your compliments, I bought this Avp armor/backpack in 2010, made by Steve Arnold/Jackthelad (http://propmakersguild.com / ebay uk).
The rest of the parts are Mannowar ‘s Avp Armor: thighs, cod and butt flaps, sternum/spine plates, buckle and shins.
The helmet is made by Biohunter76
For the pitted effect ,I use the latex texture , I turn a layer of paint black Créatex (5 doses) mixed with "Permawet" (1dose), and then I do a "drybrush" with four shades of metallic grey:
The first with generic metal grey acrylic paint
The second with "Mithril silver" colour from Game workshop (is the clear tint so I emphasize the angles)
The third layer "Chainmail".
The fourth layer "Boltgun metal"
And finally a layer of Permawet.

Hi hunters;
I had a sword NECA's " Gears of War 3 - Butcher Cleaver 36" Foam Replica ":

I have changed the handle, and I have covered it with leather, to make it less large and more tribal.

I've pasted magnets for holding it on the back of armor.

Thanks for looking.
