Thank you Mat. If you like that you're going to love today's.
Thank you, Dave. I'm glade you like it. I was worried that it didn't fit as well as it should.
Thank you vshore. I'm still trying to catch up to youAmazing work on both the AR and the armor and helmet additions thorn.
Thank you LilTyrant. I'm still trying to figure out the Under-suit a bit. Sorry I just don't see me sewing a work of art like you'res.Everything is looking great Thorn! That weathering is fantastic
Thank you, hyundai. The multi cam took me back in time a bit, But everyone seem to love it.
OK I'll be posting the AR pic's later tonight. It's been aged and is ready for final mat clear coat.

Ageing the Reach Beta AR.
1.) silver wash.
2.) sliver brushed on with a stiff brush to make pits/wear.
3.) Black brushed on with a stiff brush.
4.) black wash
Now time for the pic's.
There is allot more pic's on my Photobucket. I just can't seem to fit them all here.
Next week I'll add 3-4 coats of mat finish. This will darken it a little, but what you're seeing now is pretty much the finish paint.
So what do you think? I hope it's up to speed, and that I can now check off a "Halo Reach Weapon" from the list.:cool Next part of the punch list is the under-suit. I'll do my best on that one
Till Next time.
Don't let you're dreams fade away...

AR looks fantastic thorn!
Everything will pop that much more once you dull it up a bit with the matt coat!

Hmm...paint those rooms the same sandstorm color as your armor...sweet camo action.
I know I don't comment on your thread often thorn, but your dedication and documentation here are stellar and very helpful to the community. Keep cranking (after your chores are complete, of course).

hmm.. I got a job, not to sure on this.. having a life, thing
Wait.... I got armor, that counts...I guess I DO have a life. :cool
I would but for some strange reason I don't think the wife would go for it
As for camo on the armor how do you like it now? Did I change up on coloring of different mat. enuff? Or should I still add in some more black?
I'ts great seeing you back, Satchmo III. It's always nice to see you drop in, and thanks.
Lol...I just might have to try that in the home office one dayI like the ab plate bud, looks great.
I agree with Satchmo III lol, The camo would be like in the movie "toys" with robin williams and LL Cool J when LL was standing in room lol.
Thank's everyone.
Till Next time.
