Chace CustomWork

Hi Guys

Been a bit neglecting on the 1:6 front. But I finally mustered up the nerve to "attack" my first, very simple, custom work.

I plan to make a Shadow Trooper, since I saw one in here, some months ago..

The subject: a "cheap" eBay find, a Medicom Clone.

WIP:

So far, first coats of paint on some loose parts, to see how it turns out

Shoulder pads

Hands and boots

Good luck mate


just keep adding light coats when spraying

Hi Mate looks ok so far, would suggest washing the parts in washing up liquid as it seems you've got some silicone reaction a little there.
As Clparker says would go for light coats , better than one heavy coat, take your time it'll all come together.

Good luck

hate when that happens..also..sometimes(on the SSC clones at least)...it's better to hand pant the hands and feet...the plastic is different on the hands and sometimes spray paint makes them sticky...at least in my experience....so i usually hand pant those parts...

and yes...small light coats...spray a piece..let it dry..spray another, etc...then go back and start over...thin coats dry faster...

basically what i did with this clone...all spray...minus hands and feet...

Thanks guys.. I guess I went at it, a bit too eager.. But as you all say.. Learn by trial & error right.. ?

If you color washed them , with rust that would make a really ace rusted clone trooper.
Like Armor left to rot over alot of years sort of thing or a lava clone, looks like molten Lava

Hmm.. Maybe you got a point there, Tworiverz..
If I can sort out some sort of powder that could resemble rust..

And by color wash you mean, mix in water and apply with a brush?
