Haha the best thing is behind it there's a small gate and if you slip through it your almost at the pub!
I'm going to make a start on the netting soon, with any luck I'll get it right first time but I need to get it all done by Christmas because in January I'm joining the RAF so my free time will be dramatically reduced.
Thanks mate!

Just a teaser type post here's a picture of one of the shoulders after getting painted.

I need to increase the splinter size as there's still too much green showing through but for a first attempt I'm pretty pleased.

Huh there's nothing in your hand..........oh wait I see it now

Lol well I didn't stop there I've gone a bit crazy from a shed full of paint smells so I decided to have a crack at one of the thighs while the shoulder properly dries.
Think like with the shoulder the splinters need to be bigger still

 

[drack]

When you say bigger do you mean smaller and more?

Edit: I must say now the paint is one this is looking awesome. I really like the fact it's splinter camo and not the round wobbly blob stuff. Also been Trago again today so will be posting up pics once I get what I have been doing done

 

[DBmike]

Well I'm not sure tbh I think just the patches of black and the two shades of brown just need to be bigger and come together more. At least that's what I think dad meant when he txt me about it coz I sent him a picture to see what he thought.

I want to see now! Txt me some teaser photos

 

[drack]

I can't everything is masked up or drying. It won't be long. I only have two bits to go spray now. Mask off the back then spray that. Then glue some plastic thingies on to the shoulder pads, plastidip, prime, then spray

 

[DBmike]

All sounds interesting!

 

[Spartan_127]

Paint is looking neat. I'd recommend over lapping some of the colors on to the others to help lessen the look of the green or break it up if you're just trying to add more browns and stuff. You could even pick a different shade of brown like flat dark earth to do that with. You may even what to try a light black wash to see if that helps with it. Just a suggestion though. It's looking good and seems like it is all coming together.

 

[DBmike]

Thanks for that. Think I'll try overlapping and adding another color, think I've noticed is with splinter camo is that all the splinters touch each other where as mine are just islands in a sea of green lol

 

[DBmike]

Update!

Firstly as I'm sure you'll all agree it's nice to be back! And I've been very busy. So here's where I'm up to...

(next step is to get some camo on the torso)

And next up my war gloves and gauntlet plus a hunting veil which I'll start to build the sniper netting round but still got to get some jute.

So that's where I'm currently at obviously a lot of pattern painting to still do and a lot more parts to paint still but I'm getting there!

And for those of you who I've come to call my online friends I'm super excited right now because yesterday I proposed to my girlfriend, now she's my fiancé.

Anyway keep your eyes peeled for more guys.
Also for those interested the IRONMAN build recieved an update too so follow the link below

 

[drack]

Coming together nicely bro can't wait to see it finished

 

[Spartan_127]

We're BACK!!!!! LOL. Looking good. Great choice for the veil by the way. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

 

[DBmike]

thanks guys i'm about to head out to the shed and do some camo on the chest so will get some pictures up soon

Your foam work on your son's suit is looking damn good Spartan!

 

[DBmike]

So spent some time in the shed and came up with the following. Sadly the lights fading so I've taken a break until tomorrow.
Note this is first coat of paint for the pattern so its not as solid as it will end up.

still got the lower half to do as well
