Tolo[TK] Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 Found this earlier in the thread. It's a recast of an FX. FX recasted the GF1. Sp it's pretty much a recast of a recast loll. As for the helmet, it's a SDS recast. Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk Quote
Cantina Security[501st] Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Posted March 20, 2014 Yeah, it is crazy how far some of them take these things... This armor, although it is pretty thick abs, that feels nice to work with, we will see how it holds up over time. Recasted, meh, this will be fun to do to this kit. Lol. Quote
Cantina Security[501st] Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Posted March 25, 2014 No turning back now, bashing out the face plate. Bashed out the eye, and part of the lens. that should be the only area you see the Zombie in, i will use a contact lens and a little Black make up. The hose with the wires hanging with mic tip is just taped in to mock up the details. Thinking of adding some type of outer hose as well as some foam insulation. Any Feedback? Quote
Captain Jack[501st] Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) I like what you have done. Looks great so far. Liking the pool sign as well, good call. :-) Edited March 26, 2014 by Captain Jack Quote
Cantina Security[501st] Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Posted March 26, 2014 Thanks Matt , I am going to be putting in another hose around the one I have in here, to cover up a bit more of the opening. Add a few more wires hanging. The paint is really going to set this kit off. Quote
ex507 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Posted March 27, 2014 Cant wait how this turns out. Like how you did the bucket. Does not look too wild for now.. Love it so far! Quote
Cantina Security[501st] Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Posted April 22, 2014 Really close. Base paint laid down. Going with some acrylic overlays also. Pictures soon. Really taking shape. Quote
stormtrooperguy[501st] Posted April 22, 2014 Report Posted April 22, 2014 Excellent! Always great to see more dead troopers walking. Hmm... that would be a fun name for a sub-unit or something. Or a patch. Someone make a patch of that Quote
Cantina Security[501st] Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Posted April 22, 2014 Ok, so here are a few pictures of the armor coming back together. I must say this has been a fun and rewarding experience. slow going, but still fun. making drop box covers, and adding circuit board some texture and detail prior to base coloring. Quote
Cantina Security[501st] Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Posted April 22, 2014 Im trying to hold off on the photos, till I have something to really look at. I should have somthing soon. Quote

Cantina Security[501st] Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Posted May 2, 2014 Ok, Finally at a point where we can see where this thing is going. here are some progress photos. still need to upgrade the boots, neck seal, and add some more layers of filth. Forgot to paint one boot... Always something... Long way from this... So, Any Suggestions? Quote
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted May 3, 2014 Report Posted May 3, 2014 Looking good man Dont bother doing the other boot, as you are getting other boots Quote
Cantina Security[501st] Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Posted May 5, 2014 Thanks fellas. It was fun. Still working on it. Only going to make it better. Quote
Cantina Security[501st] Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Posted May 5, 2014 Thanks you guys. Still going to update when I get another step further. Quote
Cantina Security[501st] Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Posted May 12, 2014 Any body have any suggestions ? I am toning down the blue, and adding some blacks and greens. Also got a contact in for the red eye. Feed back is appreciated. Quote
Cantina Security[501st] Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Posted May 13, 2014 Sanding it and covering with other pigments. My GML said the blue may be a problem. Any opinions on the blue? Quote
TK-0380[TK] Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 The CRL's do say "Should be aged white with some areas having a drab olive greenish and yellowed tint." I can see where the problem may be. I think it looks cool but definitely get some green on there. Quote
TrainWreck[501st] Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) I like it but I think you are running into the problem where it looks killer in a darkly lit room but then "pops" too much in the light. A blend of muted greens and yellows might do the trick IMO. Edited May 13, 2014 by TrainWreck Quote
TK-0380[TK] Posted May 14, 2014 Report Posted May 14, 2014 Have you done an acrylic ink wash on it yet? A black wash should mute the colors more. Quote

A black wash should mute the colors more.Hopefully this week, I did sand away some of the blues, and am just looking for the time to knock it out. Thanks guys for the feed back and support. Maybe I can still redeem this bastard creation. We really get great feed back in town, and at conventions. Just want this thing to be radical in everyone's eyes. Thanks again, Joseph , Brian , and Morten.... Edited May 25, 2014 by Cantina Security Quote
