Re: Smoke's Predator Build WIP - Armor mocked up.
Update for the RPF crew!
Here's what I did last night. I plasti dipped an old leather belt. I think Im going to paint it metallic just like the armor. The plates were off a bit so I re adjusted where they mount to the belt to make them more flush with the top of the belt.
Started on the leather work a bit. I needed some leather so .... I destroyed my Polo Jacket small sacrifice.
whats left of the jacket.....hello leather scarf!:lol
and ended up with this...
Not sure if I like the longer pieces just yet. I might split the tail piece in to 4 strips and the cod flap in to 2 strips..or I might just cut them off somewhat even with the others. I want to get it up on the skin before I make any rash decisions.
Today I strung up the leather strips from the jacket and mocked it up with the rest of everything..I don't know whether or not I like the long strips or if it would look better with the mini skirt tabbard look. I'm leaning toward the shorter version. What do ya'll think??
My thought is.. the longer strips covers up too much of the skin.
Also today made the bottoms for the Bomb and Blade gauntlets. I still need to find something for that center piece.
Bottom of the gauntlets, flat sintra and foam.
Assembled. foam plasti dipped
Gonna try and pep out a new bio tonight and hopefully get it slushed with some smooth cast tomorrow(don't feel like messing with fiberglass). Still gotta make the belt buckle. I keep forgetting about it.
Thanks for looking and commenting . Let me know about the tabbards.
