Holy cow pie that's one sweet paint job. What color did you use for the metallic grey it has just the right amount of shine.

thats looking great ace keep it up ^_^,

just wondering what file did you use for those boots?

 

[MattSchlenn]

God, thats gunna look soooo awesome when its finished! you have some epic skill!!!!
i hope my carter looks that good when i find time to finish it...

So many have said this but it so amazing it needs to be said again:
Tremendous work, it is extremely inspiring.
Your paint work really really really..... really takes this suit to the next level. I told the wife hers cant be pink now after seeing how good yours looks in true Kat colors
It would be awsome to get a step by step on how you are painting these up. the metal is really well done and the blues with the drybrushed silver are darn near perfect

thanks for the sharing all this with us and keep up the great work.

exit a warthog, scene from avatar..

hah my titles are going to be from the literal untill i finish this..

okay so everything you see in the pictures are sprayed and finished! i havnt had time to take photos of them. the helmet isnt though. going to sand that smooth tomorrow then spray.
the gun also needs spraying. i still have a fair amount left.
im not going to have time you make an awesome undersuit though..
i will take a picture tomorrow of me wearing the armour and the slightly done undersuit..

hehe i cant reply too all you guys in this one post. so im going to say to all of you, thanks for your inspiring comments, its really makes me want to work on my armour more when i see so many people are interested to see this finished!

Man I knew that robo arm was gonna hold you up. But I see you standing in front of a local Gamestop with an arm so robotic that people will think you're an amputee.
Strong work there Nat. I was wondering if you're gonna go with a sidearm as well (saw an M series pistol in one of your pics). Pistolas seems to be Kat's weapon of choice. I'm curious as to what you'll choose.

haha yeah only the bicep to sand and its done!
yeah i have a pistol one from halo 3, not sure which (i can never remember) c,d.. :/ ahah it was actually my first weapon, done by carpathia. the only thing is i didnt connect the top part right to the end of the pistol so its a little off. completly noob mistake.. and i havnt built the extra part that goes underneath for the reach style pistol..
but i dont have time to fix it up..
but anyway as far as weapons go im going to have both!!]

ahhaha well pink is a very girly colour, but blue would look better! haha kat all the way

thats looking great ace keep it up ^_^,
just wondering what file did you use for those boots?

hey thanks!
i used ruze's boot for the back and my toe for the front, ruze's boot is on the reach files thread and you can find my toe on the front of this thread.

Holy cow pie that's one sweet paint job. What color did you use for the metallic grey it has just the right amount of shine.

hey!
the metallic grey is actually... wait for it... here we go.. i sprayed down a grey primer, then used a normal silver for the base, then sprayed hammered charcoal at an angle from the bottom up, then sprayed silver lightly back on top, then let that dry.. then used the dry brushing with silver techinique to highlight the little ridges..
thats if your talking about the cod?
if the forearm, thats just hammered charcoal

Hey ace! When all is said and done it would be awesome if you could put out a video tutorial of your painting process, you are by far the best painter I have seen on this site!

hey! a few people have asked about my painting so sure!
just have to give me a couple of days though

Get some rest! You frickin deserve it!

 

[drgon47]

You are a continual amazement. Almost there.

 

[Spartan 270]

Outstanding work, looks great! Looking forward to seeing the suit finished

 

[FROCKLIFFE]

So I think AceNat's Infantryman title should simply be changed to Noble-2! This is looking so great!

 

[MattSchlenn]

Wow! words fail me to describe how awesome your armour is! if i hadyou skills, i would be suiting up as carter on tuesday, but theres still supernova next year!
but once again, you have mad skills!!! great job!

 

[swisherteets]

wow Ace this is just phenominal work and done so very quickly I had really wondered if you were gonna make it but it looks like you have really powered through it keep it up its very inspiring for the rest of us

 

[Soul Drinker]

I may have missed it, (or I may have downloaded it and forgotten already) but where did you find a female chest plate for Kat? I saw the mockup pep..

Everything looks fantastic, mate! Keep up the good work!!
