fett 4 real Posted August 22, 2011 Report Posted August 22, 2011 Curious what did u use for the weathering? Quote
seantrooper[TK] Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Posted August 23, 2011 Curious what did u use for the weathering? Answered this before already let me know if you need more info thanks mate, To get the grimy look its just a black acrylic wash, dabbed on with a rag and dabbed off straight away with another rag for the lighter areas, and just didnt dab off as much for the darker areas (hope that makes sense) After painting on the blue, I sanded down the entire armour to give it a matte finish... then the weathering was applied. My battle damage was just done with different grade sandpapers, whereas I think rick used a bit of masking fluid to get paint chips on his. Sean Quote
fett 4 real Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 Perfect, thanks thats what I thought was done just not positive. Its a great weathering (battle worn) job. Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 Be proud Sean, such kind words from Fett 4 real means a lot. Check out his Fett stuff over at the dented helmet. Quote
seantrooper[TK] Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Posted August 23, 2011 just checked it out, wow! his stuff is amazing! makes me feel really good now Quote
seantrooper[TK] Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Posted September 2, 2011 fleshed out the eyes a little bit, I think it looks a heap better. Does it look fine how it is or do I need to remove a little more? Quote
seantrooper[TK] Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Thanks Mason! One thing I noticed is that it doesn't look quite as "angry" as before Just redid the vocoder and ear details on satin black aswell, looks better than the matte I had before Edited September 2, 2011 by seantrooper Quote
fett 4 real Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 Trying to decide how dark I want to go with the blue comparing it to the stripes on the helmet... Quote
seantrooper[TK] Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Posted September 12, 2011 in direct sunlight, the blue looks a fair bit lighter, however I would like my blue to seem a bit lighter in the shade But I'm happy with how it looks and I'm not going to change it now hahaha Quote
fett 4 real Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 Seems like the blue is darker than that of the stripes yeh? Ive been looking at different blues to use just not sure yet which one...maybe a mix like someone said Quote
Turtle84 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 I decided to go with a True Blue. It's brighter but it seems to work. Quote
seantrooper[TK] Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Posted September 12, 2011 It's the same blue for both the helmet and armour. I used humbrol midnight blue but if I was to paint it again I'd try a mix of colours like you are Quote
fett 4 real Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 Gonna be a spraycan what ever it is, just trying to decide which color. I dont think you need to re-do yours it looks great Quote
Angevine[TK] Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 Hi Sean, I'm in the middle of building my TK Commander as we speak and have just found this thread. Amazing work and this has pushed me on to get mine finished. My current progress is viewable here: http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=17989 Any comments or advice is appreciated. Quote
cobra[TK] Posted December 27, 2011 Report Posted December 27, 2011 Sean, you've done a great job with your armour. I think you set the standard for the guys in North Queensland. Give yourself a pat on the back mate, you deserve it. Rick Quote
seantrooper[TK] Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Posted April 6, 2012 been doing a bit of work on the TKC lately, getting it back up to standard what I've changed since my last update: New kidney/butt plate Latex handguards on rubber gloves More accurate brow trim New ears tightened up and reshaped top of thighs shin closure corrected accurate rivets on the torso and belt I still have to get a rotj blaster and make a game model Thermal Det then I should be at centurion standard (I hope) anyway, here are some photos! Let me know what you think! Quote
Thalizar[TK] Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 From one TKC to another, it looks great Sean! Quote

TK Droid[TK] Posted May 25, 2013 Report Posted May 25, 2013 did you sand your helmet to get rid of the shine before you put the paint on? Quote
seantrooper[TK] Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Posted May 25, 2013 Thanks for the compliments guys I sanded my entire armour with a fine grade sandpaper to get rid of the shine, makes the weathering stick better too Quote
