[JSG] Halo Suit Almost Done

Posted by jsorgeagames on Oct. 25, 2007, 7:42 p.m.

List of things:

> Chest Armor (100%)

> Forearm Armor (100%)

> Lower Leg Armor (100%)

> Upper Leg Armor (100%)

> Belt (75%)

> Shoe Covers (75%)

> Helmet (20%)

> Energy Sword (25%)

It's almost done. I went to a few hand-me-down shops like Goodwill and others, but my total cost was about $30. And the suit is awesome.

My painting technique:

> Tools: Bricks, Newspaper, America's Accents Leaf Satin, Metal Gold Rustoleum, and a spray paint "gun".

> Put on a light coat of Leaf Satin. Then around the edges of your painted object, put on a thick coat. Attach the spray paint gun to the Metal Gold and lightly spray the spots you missed. Now alternate Leaf Satin and Metal Gold to get a nice, shiny look, no shiny Sealants needed.

Here are some pics.

The suit may look like the chest plate is too small, but it's just becuase I'm laying down. Also, I have not yet made the belt and the lower chest armor.

Heh, good work. I'm going as myself for halloween. Scary enough if you add blazing fire red hair dye to my hair, along with maybe the JTHM look, and voila.
