Luke's Animated Captain Rex Phase II WIP

[Lidocaine]

After letting it sit for 12 hours it seems to be on there pretty well. I did some sanding after a few hours, and it's really cleaned up well.

I'll do a layer of paint tonight and another pass of wet sanding to help hide the seam better, but overall really well! I have read that it can/will crack over time so it'll be interesting too see how well it holds up over time.

Armor has all of the white on, and most of the blue as well!

Worked on the weld lines this morning, I'll add some of the rust marks tonight, and kill tallies too. Tomorrow is weathering day, and Rex is a dirty one...

Going to try to get it done Wednesday night and submitted soon after!

Looks fantastic.  Can't wait to see the completed costume.

Man that looks nice! Weathering is my favorite part, so I'm excited to see what you do to it!

[Lidocaine]

Thanks guys!

Down to adding the small details, added kill tallies to the arms and legs, and spent the evening painting greebles too.

The blue is supposed to be kinda off according to the CRL, like Rex hand painted it.


Had to fix some of the blue on the helmet, but hoping to finish weld lines tonight and weather tomorrow!

Awwwww yeah! Looks so good! Cannot wait until you suit up!

Nothing like a late night selfie. The weld lines aren't quite as awesome as I wanted but I learned a lot...

I still need to weather the helmet and chest, attach the Kama tomorrow and I'm really close. Clear coat and then it's time to submit pictures!

[Lidocaine]

Time to submit pictures! I'll go for 501st approval, then eventually RL. James helped me suit up, and I've got a list of things to tweak...

I really need to trim out some of the return edge by the knees, they were digging into me something fierce for the 15 minutes I was suited up and the thighs were slipping down. I've already moved the Velcro so they'll ride a little higher up!




And here's my "I'm tired from trooping today and my knees are killing me picture.

The wear and tear on the paint looks fantastic
