The gloves are on the way as is the scarf and the belt pouches. Still don't have the belt or holster or much of anything else... Going one piece at a time on this. Still debating whether to add additional weathering to the shirt.
If you look closely the scene where Royce uses the shemagh to protect him from the smoke, you can see it´s not so thin, as in other scenes. May be they used both of them. I folded mine and it wasn`t that thick. I folded first in half forming a triangle, and then rolled it from the extrems.So, my shemagh came in today and instead of going with the 4537 Rotcho Lightweight, I went with the 8537 Standard... and I blew it. I am thinking it MUST be the 4537, as the 8537 is SUPER thick once you fold it that way Royce wears it in the movies...

Alright, here is my initial weathering. It is really hard to get enough to make it show up for photos without overdoing it. I think the weathering on the vest is just about perfect... maybe need to take it down just a tiny bit, but the weathering on the shirt is so light, it is hard to see. This was all done my mising grey tinted fuller's earth with water then randomly painting it on with a brush and sponging it back off with a towel.

BTW, something else we might as well start looking into... We can get the replica predator machete pretty cheaply, but it has no scabbard. In looking at the movie, I haven't seen a super clear shot of it. I hate going to the toys, but Hot Toys usually does an amazing job and this is what they are showing. Guess we need to confirm / deny that this is indeed what we need and then we need to start looking for someone who can make these to fit the predator machete.
