I've slifhtly modified my initial design, and have decided to go with a legacy armor design.

??

Making decent progress on the helmet.?? Applied base silver coat, added toothpaste for weathering effects, put on second gold layer, and now adding tape before applying the final black layer.

lol welp you're already further along than i am

Got my top coat of paint on, pulled of the tape and washed off the toothpaste.?? Still need to apply a blackwash to the exposed areas.?? A portion of tape ended up pulling up all the paint down to the primer on the front, so I'll need to redo that area.?? Thinking I might just apply the base silver and try to get it to look like a blaster hit.

Finished painting the helmet and gauntlets.?? Next up scoring and blackwashing.

Trying to follow up on my new year's resolution to work on my Mando armor.  Question for those who've worked with sintra, is it a problem if the outer layer frays/peels along the edges, or can I slap some putty on those spots and sand it down?

Never worked with Sintra before, but if what you are showing is representative of the fraying, it looks like perfect battle damage to me.

My mando is sintra but I have never had that happen before. Might have been a different type. Chips and rough edges are okay for battle damage but stringy looking fraying wouldn't because it's supposed to metal. See if you can sand or even heat it possibly.

Thanks.  I planned on sanding around all the edges to smooth them out and get rid of the strings.
