The paintjob is fantastical.... it really looks worn and used. The reddish mud looks a little like rust... it's just so realistic.

I dunno how I feel about the exposed buckles though. Thats the kinda thing you usually try to hide.

Maybe if you painted them to match the armor, they wouldn't stick out so much.

 

[link4044]

yeah dont know bout the buckles, but thats your version

 

[Long Shot]

yeah i was kinda wonderin about the buckles too, how come they are done like that, if u don't mind me asking

 

[link4044]

maybe you should paint them a gunmetal kolor so they dont look to much like plastic

 

[Chewdog316]

Maybe, but military buckles are plastic.

 

[link4044]

true true, well maybe in the future they use something less

 

[Chewdog316]

heh, in the future they dont have buckles at all.

 

[link4044]

thats right how can i forget :duh:

 

[Adam]

tell that to the ODSTs in halo 3.


the boots have buckles, kinda like roller blades buckles, same with the thigh pieces.

 

[link4044]

true...havent looked at them...also the marines have velcro on there armor

 

[Chewdog316]

hmm so im not too far off then.

 

[link4044]
