Vinman's Avp Elder Completed! New Photos

[VinMan]

Hey Lair Members,

After more than two and a half years my

AVP Elder is Finally Completed!!!

It started off as a budget build but we all know how that goes. What started off as a fun hobby exploded into an addictive obsession.

I was constantly buying, selling and upgrading until the end of the journey.

I just want to acknowledge all of the awesome minds and creative talents that helped me build my suit.

Here is a list of the contributions they have made

• Scott Marshall - Elder mask
• Joe Booie - Dreds
• Dwayne Ink monster - Painter of the Mask, Skin, Hands and Feet
• Pete Mander - Feet, Hands
• Paul Artsee1 - Muscle Facade
• Sea Hunter - Chest Armor
• Mr. Fett - Shins
• Pirk-Shaitan - AVP Uber Canon
• Van Dyke's - eyes
• Chuck Ruffkin - Belt Pouches

My contributions

• Construction of All Armor, Gauntlets, Backpack and Suriken custom made from my AVP templates thread from Sintra Sign Plastic.
• Painting and weathering of all Armor, Gauntlets, Backpack, Bio, Etc...
• Bone Necklace, Bandolier
• Neck Ring and accessories
• Quills
• Dred Rings and Bead Drops

OK on to the pics.
