Armor

Post by River »

Hey geoff,

It's Atin-Armor? It's awesome, lots to trim, but i'd rather have 'more to trim' then less to trim.

Was the guy over on CTN able to do the pauldron for you or are you going to take a stab at it yourself?

The guy who did my Rex Pistols is going to do the Pauldron, I don't have the room here in my place. I want to get the one from CTN but I'll wait till I have better funds.

Cool. Just make sure you have your chest and back armor done before you construct it. That way you will not have to make changes if it needs to be adjusted.

Hasbro Bucket

Post by River »

Thanks for the compliments on the bucket,

I wish I could take the credit on the work but I can't. that was painted by my good friend who is doing my pistols and pauldron. I'm a huge Rex Fan and he did that for me. It also helps me out since i'm doing some drawings of rex and when I paint my 'actual' bucket it will give me a heluva guide. i'll post more pics of the bucket if you like.
