Great weathering job. What steps are you using to get those effects on your armor/leather?
 
Re: My Dredd 2012 WIP (new pics!!! 03/23/13)

Fullers earth, and some sandpaper, the side walk, a file, a pocket knife.

Today put on the pants and jacket, boots and elbow/knee pads, gloves and went and crawled around in the field next door.

Here is the one my wife took of you Sir. Was great to meet you. Are you local to Denver? If so... can we get together and have you walk me through making this stuff? I have NEVER done anything like this...

I lost track but I am in between 15-1800 I would guess, I counting mistakes, and rebuying of parts different helmets etc, I sold a lot of the mess up different stuff and made back about 500 soooo call it 12-1300 total.



But add in the K Struss leathers for 450 and I am back to original quote.

I did learn a bunch and plan to mod this rig up and sell it so someone can enjoy it when I receive my leathers and new vest.

Excellent build! I've been using your WIP as a benchmark for my DREDD. I love the final results. Simply stunning!

I've got a question for you:
What material did you end up using to finish the lower left shoulder armor?

I also have a set from MrPinski too and I know he uses a scrap piece of leather for his this part, but yours looks quite substantial than a leather piece. This is the same route I'd like to take. I'd like a more complete looking armor like yours.

Cheers!
 
Thanks for the compliments my friend!


I originally cast it in hard rubber, but the thread kept ripping through the seam. So I ended up using a piece of 10 oz leather which is about 1/4" thick.
