Very impressive work for a first build. Only 2 suggestions I would make and both are cosmetic and up to complete personal choice. I would say with how dirty those crevices are maybe do a little black wash on the flat parts of the helmet (don't overdo it though) and definitly in the cheek vents. and I think just a small amount of dry brushing could go a long way (definitly don't overdo drybrushing silver on, less is more)
Ok I've finally primed the last of the parts
So I only have to sand the boots, forearms, and abdomen
As for painting I have to paint said parts
And tape off the thighs, shoulders, forearms, and calves
I'll order the combat suit and the straps+buckles tomorrow
The last piece has been painted! I'll start taping off other pieces tonight for secondary colors (I couldnt really paint the inside very well but it doesnt matter ig)
I was at Huntsville comic convention over the weekend and I have some photos to share. My build is not finish in these photos but I made it work to go to the con
the kid in the middle is my lil bro
my strapping system was crap so I'm gonna rip it off, dremel where the hot glue was an attach it to a plate carrier
