Armour



Here's the bunch all scrathced and metltedPut some wood in th gun and screwed it to the shin guard, had no idea how to attach this easily, hot glue was good, but felt really weak I could tell it was going to fall off so these screws will hold it firm
Took a soldering iron to the Hockey armouer and made some scorch marks and dig, blaster marks, claw marks and cuts

Weathering


Hayden has some white hockey armour and a belt made from Duct/Duck Tape that he wants to look like it's been in Tatooine - he cited a Sandtrooper

Here's the clean shind guard - I tested ont he other one and the paint just rubbed right off - so using some fine sand paper went over the whole thing - spent about 20 minutes lightly circling around, just to make it rougher








you can just about see int he shiny highlight the rouch scratches made by sandpapering - this is enough for the paint to get stuck in and 'stain' itUsing this beige (suede) colour first and a spnge applicator I cut and pulled bits out to make it rough





Dabbed
 on the paint all over








Then hair dry it to dry it out




After this used a damp towel to rub off the paint



then added some burtn umber paint to the bigger recesses and did the same

Here it is finished

Gun Ideas And Spray


Cut off the handle to make a mounted flame throwe of sorts





Something like this I'm thinking











Here's the hockey armour sprayed




Spayed it with black undercoat, got a re d enamel spray for a couple of canister (fuel for the arm piece) test spray, pretty good. Danino yogurt bottles, will need to figure out a way for them to attach and connect to the gun to make it look like it's powering it -

Initial stuff





Got some various hockey armour stuff, kids stuff from the 2nd hand store, most things were about $3 each.

Some belts etc. Water pistol

































Testing spraying the cloth portion with black undercoat



Kath's old boots, cut around the sole and then tried it on as a gater, and tried the back which has womens flashy belts and stuff - it looks better on the front I think?

Here's the kids armour, as you can see too small for me, so cut it to shape at the back as some sort of armour piece



A water pistol, probably a side arm for HAyden


Another water pistol, maybe thinking of converting the top to a flame throw ont he wrist or something


Knee pads... just need paiting and wetahering I Think
