Oh that went through awhile ago. I thought I was gonna have to sell this one too but things worked out! I'll try and get some full armor shots up soon, just wanted to show how simple weathering can be
are white to be omitted from a rotj suit? ive got about 3 inches of gap and am using white shims to hold my TKC torso together, will it be passable? theres no specifics about shims in both crl's. i thought anh ones were the only suits the required them if the gap was greater than 1/2 inch.
my first time weathering, hard to believe i know. maybe those years of painting cars and model kits finally paid off. the blue is testors' blue angels, and all the white paint scores, chipping paint effects is just fancy brush work with some spare gloss white. the black scratches, oil stains, blemishes are all watered down black acrylic. it could, for some ungodly reason i needed to, be wiped clean back to shiny gloss white again with a towel and rubbing alcohol. but it LOOKS like i did a lot of work.
i tried to made each scratch unique and realistic since ive been in many battles. ive even added some black dabs in the blue to further enhance the carbon something word i dont know look.
i hate rotj pointy shoulders, ugly face, difficult blaster, white shoe soles, smaller belt, detonator detail, shoulder straps, door trim, upside down ab buttons...
just do it right and go anh stunt. easier, cheaper, looks better.
"too small" is when your nose gets squished so open the neck up or make it a low-brow to free up some space, or if its a general volume issue a capw is a bit bigger and should have the space you need, then efx, then rtmod. APs are the smallest helmets! Ata being slightly bigger, capw slightly bigger than that..
in the eyes of a sharpened trooper, its like comparing a don post vinyl helmet to a screen derived one, its gigantic and looks ridiculous! its not hard to save up a hundred or so for a better looking bucket if youve got a big dome, theres always rtmod
