Toddo's Novatrooper

Thanks to some parts from Izzi and Scootch, I've been working on modifying my Shadow Stormtrooper into a Nova. I believe I have completed the build and am awaiting Legion approval. Here are some pics:

Thanks Jim.

Nice job on the paint.

[Evilboy[501st]]

I am considering this as well...

Nice job on the paint.

 

Thanks Blackhole. I really struggled with getting that right. I'm happy with it now.

Is your suit ABS? What paint did you use? How did you mask?

Nice paint job, very impressive.

It is a bit of a frankenstein. The core bits are FX. The rest is Cap-W HIPS painted. I had the best luck with Rustoleum automotive enamel and a bunch of clear-coat on top of that. For the gold stuff it is Rustoleum gold metallic, again with clear-coat. For masking I simply used blue painter's tape. The green Frog tape hasn't left the lines clean for me.

You got skillz man...!

Chestplate looks a modded FX, same way I just did mine.

I believe that chest is actually a CAP or CAP-W
