I love you XD

Just, you use metal, so the shoulders and the knee protections are in metal? I need to find a great way to do some smooth surface for my XV15, I don't really love how my fire warrior suit is... Maybe I don't use the good paint (don't worry, I don't use the GW paints XD)

Yes , its all done in steel. If you can handle the german language, check out our homepage , in one of the threads I discribed the making of the elysian armour

look for inquisitionstrupp23.de

I use no gw paint too...I use military paint..;-)

I think paint a complete armor with GW paint will be more expensive than go on the moon XD

I use industrial paint, the one we use to paint the walls... What is the military paint?

I don't really speak german, but I'm swiss so I've learned a bit at school (and I'm supposed to speak perfectly german now, but I'm not a good student...)

Sometimes I used origin MIPA paint, used by the german army. But now I use colour, made with the origin RAL numbers but not for the military.
I buy it online
look at militärlacke.de

If you can handle the german a little bit, its ok, its only to find the thread. The most of the making you see on the pics..

I wonder if they have the color I'll need... Well, I'm gonna make a XV15, so I need the stealth colors: [link]

I think I can get the grey/black, but the dark red would be difficult to find on militärlacke.de (I think I can find something similar for switzerland, btw ^^)

Ask him,send him a origin test paint..he create me a special colour for one of my projects. I´ve sent him a removed piece from the project with the old colour and he makes the paint...

I take note, but first I need to find an idea to do correctly and smooth... I'm looking for plastic actually... ^^
