My P2 Bio Paintup

[Klwl]

Well I wasn't ging to make a post about my paintup as I've had no previous experience painting really any prop but I figured why not.

So I bought a Casey P2 bio for my suit ans as stated had no previous experience painting anything aside from my SW costumes.  I did the usual to the bio , trimmed the eyes, cleaned up the outer edges, washed and that's really all I did.



I did as most do primed a couple coiats let dry than rattle can a copper color I had laying around.  TBH  I thought the color was way too bright but I did it anyways.



Now my plan was not necessarily to make this thing screen accurate but to match my armor.  So I used the ol sponge paint method beautifully outlined by PredatrHuntr in his video...







I think I came close anyways



 I forgot to take pics with the eye mesh which I used window screen for the time being.  I simply doubled it up and glued it in.

Here is a pic from a shoot I did.  Hope you enjoyed it as much as I have. 



Sadly I wore the bio a day after painting it at a con and as I posted on that thread ended up losing the bio and it cracked.  Since repaired.

cheers

Good stuff Steve.  Looks like you got pretty close to the armor and thats what really matters.

yea the lighting in the photoshoots photo doesn't reflect it very well sadly.

I am pretty proud of what I accomplished though for my first time trying this. 

This piece will remain in my collection indefinitely.

I should also point out I didn't take any pics of the finished product so the seams and lines were gone over with a fine brush to darker it all up...

Very nice, I think you matched the colours pretty well, the weathering looks great too, especially if you've done the shadows as you said in your last post.
