I'll looking to this Rub N Buff but I doubt I'll find any in the U.K.

Ah, Yeah, it's pretty hard to come by outside of the US. I live in canada about 40 minutes from the border and I still can't find any. If I find some I plan to use it on a jango though.

Wow, that anakin is damn near unrecognizable! doen't look at all like anakin, which is awesome!

Can't seem to connect on Internet Explorer. I'm trying Mozilla Firefox to see if I can get in now.

Hey guys! I've gotten a lot of requests about posgin progress pics on my scaled Mandalorian armor. Finally I got off my butt and took pictures! I'll be presenting this in a step-by-step painting instruction for those who want to do what I did.

Step 1: priming

 Get your desired piece and clean it off with soapy water, let it dry. After dried, cover completely with grey Sandable Primer.

 Once dried, get a piece of 600grit ultra fine sandpaper and sand the desired piece until smooth. the result should look as such:

 



Step 2: applying a base coat

 Once desired piece is properly primed and sanded, wash again wth soapy water and let dry.

 After dried, spray 30 cm away with silver spray paint. let dry, repeat until piece has a completely covered look

 The spray paint, being as far away as it was, will have gone on specked and flaked. This is no problem as it is expected. Wash in warm soapy water and wetsand using the 600grit sandpaper lightly.

 Rinse and let dry. the desired look will be scratched, which is perfect.




Step 3: further sanding

 Wet your 600 grit sandpaper and sand until surface is incredibly smooth. wash in soapy water again and let dry.

 The end result should look patchy and sort of like a car's paint job you'd see at the beginning of "pimp my ride"



Step 4: final coat

Get in within 3-5 inches of the desired piece of armour and use your silver spray paint to spray, doing so in a linear fashion, using long, sweeping strokes to cover all of the armor. Do not touch until completely dry (depending on what kind of spray paint you use, it will be from either an hour to a few hours to a day to a few days)

Result will not be very smooth, but do not sand, hand wash with soapy water, rinse, and let dry. This should smooth the armor out as much as possible, and the end result should look like this:




And, just for reference, here's every step altogether:






I must stress that this result is for spray painting and the result will depend on what spray paint you use. I used what I could find, which honestly is not the best looking, but gives a desired effect.

This paint job is a temporary one for me, however. I'm planning on using a wax-based metallic finish on my complete armour: Silver leaf colored Rub 'N' buff brand is what I really want to cover my armour with. it gives a more realistic finish than any spray paint could, but it is VERY, VERY difficult to find here in Canada. I am told they used to have it at michaels, but it has since been called back.

 In the US, I believe you can find these in abundance at Hobby Lobby and if you want to look for it, search in the antiquing area and what you're looking for is called Rub 'n' Buff wax metallic finish and the colour you're looking for is Silver Leaf. Once i find this, I will work on my armour immediately and post the results.

 EDIT: Here's a link to the product I'm speaking of

 Thanks for looking!

that's a sweet looking jango mod, Glassman! I've been wondering when someone was going to use that face sculpt (which is my opinion is the best representation of temuera morrison's face)!

 Once i get to finishing my jango, I'll post it up

ThePerennial,
Is that some new video game coming? That looks awesome.

 yeah, it's actual gameplay, too. I was reading an article about how it works and they're using the latest technology for it. no loading times, no freezing up, and no sacrificeing of graphics to do so. no word on anything else about the game other than just that trailer. the running name for it is "Force unleashed", but it's not officially the name.

This may be a desperate fanboy in me, but did anyone at comic con get a better look at what this said?



 The first part (I'm hoping) looks like it says "Mandalorian". Could we be getting an EU mando in the near future? Probably not.

 Actually, upon further observation, it looks more like "Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes" Is this a multipack?

Hahahah, I did the same thing to one of my boba holos! Put it on a table for a dio, too. looks incredible, eh?
