I think it was a good contrast color to fill in the cuts & scratches against the dark green without really ruining the base color I was worried a dark color would ruin the nice shade of dark green I had made, so I used a sandy tan color on it - made sense since they're primarily in the desert. I finished up my weathering with an acrylic wash. I think next time I'll get a similar shade but in a flat/matte. I dabbed metallic gunmetal gray around the outsides of scarring, but I'm not a huge fan of how that looks up close after it dried too shiny for how dark the color is. Then I retouched some of the battlescars with more silver. I painted the stencils with Krylon Pebble so that it looks a little dulled down and not like brand new white paint.
I absolutely loved how that final color turned out, the picture doesn't properly capture it. Next I took Rustoleum Camouflage Deep Forest Green and rubbed it on with a rag to give it a used worn look. I did a sealer of dark gray Plastidip, then a base layer of Rustoleum Oil Rubbed Bronze, and then I painted in all of the battle scars in silver acrylic. Next I took out the woodburning tool for some damage effects Most people I've seen tend to just attach the pieces at the seams without much of a backing, but I definitely like the thickness & sturdiness of the two full layers. Sanded the edges a bit, heated & shaped them, then glued them onto a full size backing. I started with a basic template that I found online that I've seen several other people on here use, and cut it all out with a beveled edge Please excuse my crappy cell phone picture quality :$
I'm hoping to have a good Ranger costume for Tampa Comic Con in August.
After tinkering around a bit and learning the basics of working with EVA, I decided to share with you all my first major project of some NCR Ranger armor to get my feet wet before I eventually work my way up to a full suit of power armor. I love the website and it's already given me some tremendously helpful tips & pointers. Hello all, this is my first thread, so here goes nothing I'm pretty new to cosplay, but I've been playing in post-apocalyptic scenario airsoft events for about 4 years now which involve scrapping together fun costumes, so I finally decided to take my Fallout gear to the next level.
