Re: Boot darkening
I used the acrylic paint like in the weathering tutorial and just put it on the whole boot with a natural sponge.

Going to take a couple of coats, but that's the only thing they say I need to do.

Re: Boot darkening
That's kind of what I'm thinking, but the tutorial was for weathering. I just want to make sure I can use the same paint - just to darken the whole boot.
I'm thinking I'll just take the boot into Michaels with me (that's where they sell the paint) and see what the ladies there say.

Boot darkening
I need to darken my Anakin boots. They are not real leather, so I want to make sure I use the right stuff. I have a tutorial that shows how to weather these same boots I have using Liquitex acrylic paint. Can I use that and just cover the whole boot with it, or is shoe polish good enough. I want to ...

Dan,
Next time I see you, remind me to tell you the story of the time I had to put on my Biker Scout helmet to rescue a baby bird.

Re: Biker Scout (WIP)
Unfortunately at a standstill waiting on my black undersuit and vest. The 6 month estimate is now at 10 months. I just can't justify paying another vendor when I've paid for it in full from someone else. Everything else is completed and in hand. Pretty frustrating.... :mad: Can I ask who you ordere...

Re: To Maul or Opress???
There was an awesome Savage Opress that was in the costume contest with me at CVI. He was from overseas, but I'll look through the photos I have. I know I have at least a couple.

Re: To Maul or Opress???
Can I ask how you're built?? I only ask because Opress is a big guy!! Maul is more "normal size". Not that you can't do an Opress if that's what you decide, but to REALLY pull it off, having the right body type is a real bonus. That being said, either one would be great to have in the area...

Re: Darth Maul - Am I Close?
Great look. I'm also looking at doing a Darth Maul because of being bald. While I'm working on finishing my phase II clone I wanted to find another character to do. In getting started I wanted to find out what you are using for the horns? Any help would be great. I look forward to seeing your progr...

Re: Boot holster
www.bikerscout.net has all kinds of tutorials (at least they did, I would assume they still do) as well as a good group of quality suppliers if you want to just buy them.
