Recently we had vacuum formed some armor for an upcoming commission.
We where going to use fleece for the color of the armor, but decided it was not true to the character design.

here are some airbrush texture examples of wood. We have a quite a variance of light and dark. For the shape we used 3 different molds to add a crafted look to it.

these are still "in progress". I did like this step, and thought it worth posting.

the two white casts on opposite sides are for another part of the suit. but they are the same white color the painted pieces started out as.
