Sorry, I've been away so long. I have not been idle in my absence though![ author=Falin Skirata link=topic=46615.msg663070#msg663070 date=1328542468]
Sanding it is going to be tons of fun lol... alot of detail work to get through and around.
As for getting the color you're after without worrying about paint issues, try rub n buff. It comes in a variety of metallic colors... gold, bronze, copper, silver, etc etc. You can pick it up at most craft and hobby stores or ebay.

Sanding it was a joy :rolleyes: but it needed doing. Unfortunatly I could not find Rub n buff in the right color, the closest was still to orangey for me. Thank you anyway though ;D.
While I've worked on the torso plates and knees and thighs I wanted to show you what's taken the most time (over two months whenever I had free time)
My new belt!
Detail of border work
Juno's personal sigil
And on the pocket
And the handmade tassels
It still needs aging but I wanted to show it before I beat it up. Comments? Critique?

Wow...that is absolutely gorgeous!

I like the look of it. I would just leave it if I were you. It gives it more of a natural metal look. This is absolutely phenominal. What do you use to sculpt? Jewelry clay?

Thank you! To answer your question, it is apoxie sculpt www.avesstudio.com. It is great medium. Not only does it hold detail well, it sands and it takes an hour or two to dry so you have great working time.I love this stuff.

A little bitty Necro posting... lol But I just HAD to say how absolutely beautiful your plates and soft stuff is turning out! I've always had a liking to the Middle Eastern/belly dance costumes. I'm wondering if hand painting this with acrylics might work. I had to do that with my most of my helmet and all the decorations/designs on my armor plates.
I'm certainly looking forward to seeing more updates!! 8)
