Absolutely badass! Lean and mean! I took a pause from making your samurai armor and Facebook Memories reminded me it's been a year since the pause. 😅 I hope you do a foam smartgunner armor and headpiece someday!

[@SKSProps]

Thank you! 🙌🙌

I was thinking of using a layer or two of epoxy resin from both sides. This would add rigidity and would protect the seams from the color. But could crack if strained.

[@eljuancho1152]

Nice work right there bro, will you make a tutorial for the leg parts? It would ve very helpful

[@Justrex01]

Wow! A super detailed paint scheme, but you definitely rocked it hard. Love every bit of this armor. Looking forward to see what you do with it next. Take a break and relax, Steve. We'll still be here loving your work. Thank you very much for being our inspiration!

[@SKSProps]

Thanks Rex! The camo was definitely a pain but well worth the effort. I felt that a bad camo paint job could have ruined the overall look of the armor. I never get to take a break but I’ll just dial it back some 😂

[@ThePropSlayer]

Awesome paint job Steve, I’m stunned you freehanded the pattern!

[@SKSProps]

Glad you like it! Not going to say it was easy but well worth the effort 👍

[@onemancinema4642]

The helmet will be awesome. Well done once again and thank you. Gonna start this one next.

[@SKSProps]

Thank you!! 🙌

[@mns188]

The paintjob and the sewing looks super good. Fantastic work! I downloaded the templates, next week is building time. Thanks for this amazing build

[@SKSProps]

Awesome! And Thank you!

[@TheSargeNZ]

Excellent work! The wide straps with the triangular ends look like the originals might have been made from WWII British Pattern 37 cross straps.

[@SKSProps]

Thanks! Terri is overseas and took a lot of inspiration from WWII and Vietnam. All of the soft good and camo were custom made for the movie and luckily James Cameron liked the look.

[@gergelyszuts8510]

Woooow! Fantastic work! Pls make a late roman Berkasovo style helmet too 😉 I'm very eager to see how can you make this kind of intricatly decorated helmet 😉

[@SKSProps]

Thanks! 👍

Polish Desert Camo is pretty close to Frog and Leaf.

[@SKSProps]

it is close and probably fine for cosplayers on a budget

[@josray2557]

I've been catching up. Some really good stuff with the aliens and wolverine armor.

[@SKSProps]

Thanks!

The armor looks fantastic, awesome job SKSPROPS.

You're welcome. 👍

[@tomlopez4081]

I would love to see the helmet, when the time comes

[@SKSProps]

I plan on it. I’ve already got the base helmet and started patterning the lobster plates on the back

[@redmist1122]

Super cool build...love the details and the camo pattern used!

[@SKSProps]

Thank you very much!

[@metroidmania8833]

Any chance you might be able to include a more accurate mixture ratio for paints and washes? Some of the descriptions like "heavily watered down" is a little vague. How much graphite is some graphite powder?

[@SKSProps]

it's just something you are going to have to get the feel for and you'll get better at judging the ratios the longer you do it. so what you see in the video as far as water and powder on my plate is what I used. also every brush is unique to how much water and paint they hold and every paint brand is different because of the pigment to medium ratio

[@OrminOrminsson]

This looks awesome! Great job! 🤘

[@SKSProps]

Thank you! 👍

[@Lempo.Geisterjäger]

Absolutely awesome... What did you use to "finish" your paintjob? Did you use any sort of clearcoat over everything? Or are the liquitexcolors itself (once dried) durable themself? I will be building my armor over the holidays and would be sad if the paintjob would not be safe 😅

[@SKSProps]

Thanks! 99% of the time I won’t ever clear coat my work. It kills the various sheens of matte and metallics

[@Lempo.Geisterjäger]

@SKSProps thanks for the fast reply... ok, then i'll try and see how it will turn out for me 😅 thanks again for your awesome templates 😍🤘🏻

[@manuelatzori5290]

awsome build for an awsome film! do you think you wil build the helmet too? for a full Hics cosplay?

[@SKSProps]

Wrapped up the ab armor a few days ago along with the shins. The helmet will be a modification of a plastic base and I’ll work on that after DragonCon Follow my instagram to see build updates 👍

Soo cool !

Thanks!! 👍

[@rickay_rowe]

I need it

[@SKSProps]

I'm glad you like it def one of my all time favorites!

[@Jewifer333x2]

The crazy thing is foam almost looks better than plastic reproductions

[@SKSProps]

paint makes the prop, and most i've seen just don't have good paint jobs. I've been painting for 30+ years so it's a lot easier for me to mix colors and know how the final result is going to look

[@Jewifer333x2]

@@SKSProps the geometry is mainly what I mean. Its hard for plastic to have the same look of dimension and thickness as this foam.
