Well, I finally decided what to do with my suit, and of course I started with the bio (it's sort of my speciality ). I decided to go with something I've never seen done before, and put a concept on something never seen in the comics - The Black Warrior. I took a P1 bio, mainly because it's my favourite of all of them. It's also rather generic, and I like the idea of Death being something for everyone, like the preds say...everyone meets the Black Warrior sooner or later.
So here's the pics so far...sorry, I'm really bad at taking progress pics, but this was just a test run...I'll be doing another one that I'll document much more fully. It's made from cold cast bronze, backed with fiberglass for strength, and then some more resin. The cold cast bronze was actually a really good colour for a P2 bio once I'd polished it up a little with some steel wool.
After buffing it with the steel wool (coarse, medium and fine), I brushed some patinas onto it and left it to stand for a while. It still needs a lot more doing to it to get it how I want (i.e. much darker), but I think this is a pretty good start. There's no paint on this anywhere, nor will there be! I might seal it with a clear coat, but that'll be it.
