I did mine with rubh`n`buff silver leaf. The parts came black, I just rubbed over it. Take a look in my wip, you see how it looks like.

Today was robe-day. I did the piece. Actually I am quit happy with the result exept for the length of the arms. I need to check with my shoulder armor on, maybe I neeed to shorten the sleeves a bit. In that case, I need to colour the red markins again. I used deep red (cherry red) fabric-paint. Need to iron the seams flat. I started to recreate the armor using worbla and foam, I want to build the Old Republic Jedi as well. I will see how it will come together. Chest armor started today, what do you say? After some minor modifications regarding shoes and shoe armor, I will be ready to make the application. If the sleeves are ok. If not, I need one-two more weeks to alter the sleeves. See ya.

I had the chance to make some pics with the last modifications, walking stairs works well, up- and downstairs. The only thing I need to work on, speaking of armor, are the shoes with the armor attached. But, at the end, I will sort that out as well. And, please forgive me the robe, it’s a temporary version just for this fun-weekend and will be replaced with a real cool serious-material robe (already in progress but not finished until now). My schedule is to get this costume finished for approval in the next month. May until april. And I have managed to find some better, black pouches. Thanks and enjoy...

The raw Kit was Black in colour. I did not prime it.

No I just did not rub n buffed it. Kind of natural weathering...

I have had the mojo to alter my costume and fit in some parts. Did the cannister thingy with weathering: I shortened the thigh pieces for better spacing. I am little on the short side.. The shins were fitted as well. Cut a slot at the lower end and on the inside of the knee area. Result of the recent modifications: I think I will cut the fabric for the robe todays evening...

Alright.... final test with all of the parts. Remember, the robe is just temporarely... and yes, I know about my hood..... Alright. That was it for the moment. I need to redo some of the parts, I am not quite happy with how the boots are, the shins and tights need to be fitted... But, overall, its a really nice piece of armor. Thanks for watching, soon to be more updates.....

Fisrt test with a already owned robe... this is not the final robe as it is not accurate. Its just for the fun of it.. Boot-armor.. First testfit with the upper parts... Incl. Mask and temporary robe.

Sorry for flooding.. I did make a wip in another forum, but I thought you might be interested as well... Got the softparts from a motorcycle-shop. Abdomen plate with breast and attached strapping. This will go around the neck and will be covered by the neckseal. The mask was wide enough to install a welding-mask-headband. Flipping it open is really nice touch.. Upper body... With mask..

Hello gang. I started to get the pieces together, starting with some parts... Quick fittinh... think it will work.. Shoulder bell.. I deceided to just use Rub`n`Buff Silver leaf, without any preparation... here are the first resuklts: Because of my thinking to not use a filler or bonde, the tiny scratches and dents are still there. This creates a really col used look. Remeber, this is an armor.

I actually really like the robe.... Available?
