Kote Gra'tua Shock Infantry WIP

[Kote Gra'tua]

So I'm building my kit and I decided to consolidate my WIP to one thread.  So without further ado here we go...

Front of my Bucket


Back of my Bucket


Right Shoulder Guard


Right Gauntlet


Left Gauntlet (Flamethrower barrel cut off in the pic but it's there)


Hand Plates


Neckseal with Plates


Belt


As always tips and comments are appreciated.  Thanks.

Looking good so far!

So I put the visor and padding in my bucket and gave it the final clear coat.  The only thing she needs is the voice amp and she'll be completely done, but she's done enough for now.



I had ordered a visor from Bikerchick but it wasn't dark enough and the cling film kept peeling even after I reapplied with a mild soap and water solution so...  I went to Lowe's spent $25 and got some mirrored window film, cut out two equal sections and hot glued them to the inside of the bucket.  Now I have a mirrored visor that I can see out of, but that no one can see in to.

Here's one of my two DL-44's



Just did a simple repaint of the Star Tours DL-44.  A lot of people like to lengthen the barrel and grips, but I found that it's the same over all length of my Glock 22 .40 duty weapon and the grip fits my hand just fine.

Here's my plates with a couple coats of silver.

looking good.


nice neckseal, who makes it? it looks to have extra " armor" material on the bib.

[Kote Gra'tua]

It does.  It's got foam padding sewn into it.  If you want the name of the maker send me a PM and I'll get you her info.

So, Kote, do you have any updates on your armor so far?

[Kote Gra'tua]

Did several layers of silver and clear coats yesterday and I'm doing the weathering and black today.  Sometime later I'll post pics of the soft parts that are all completed.

All good so far mate I thought i was the only one planning twin DL-44's  great minds think alike bud 

[Kote Gra'tua]

The idea came to me while I was playing TOR.  My toon has twin heavy blasters so I said I'm gonna have twin heavies.  Plus Kel you and I are brilliant.  Backstory for my Merc is that he's an urban warfare specialist.  His load is going to be 2 DL's and a fortified verp shorty for CQB since most urban battles happen at under 100 meters.

Always good to have a backup (the twin DL's) as the verps are known to be "fragile" pieces of weaponry.

[Kote Gra'tua]

So I just used an entire can of paint for the first coat of black on my armor.  Oi.

Is that all ? My armour took two cans of primer, three silver, one black. 

[Kote Gra'tua]

oh I've gone through 2 silver, 2 black and 1 clear so far.  Anyway here's the first shot of my armor with the first coat of black, minus the back plate.
