Takin' the LEAP into TD

joetaylor · Post by **joetaylor** » Mon May 22, 2006 8:45 pm

Okay, I am starting the process of turning my armor into TD armor. If I am going to do it I want to do it right. I started with my bucket since it is the one that everyone looks at first. I will do the other mods after some feedback from the group. I hope to at least have it dirty by the Zoo event. Let me know what you think from the pictures. They are not the best, but hopefully you can give some feedback... too much dark, not enough dark, too much altogether, not enough. Any feedback is appreciated.

Hey Joe,

Here are a couple of places that will help ya out with your weathering technique. In particular, I would highly suggest checking this site out:

Another great site to check out is found here:

If you need a pack for the zoo event, you can always borrow mine until you get yours done. My MP3 is in use with my current costume, but if you get yourself a cheap MP3, I can put the sounds on the pack for ya.

Keep up the good work, bro.

That would be SUPER Chris! I doubt that I will get the pack done by then, so borrowing yours would be AWESOME!

I do have an MP3 player. Could you send the sound file to my home email and I will load it on there?

Thanks Chris!

Hey Joe,

How's the weathering coming along??

Just finished it today! I think that it looks great!!! I guess I will wait until Friday to see what everyone thinks. I tried one technique..didn't like the results, tried another and still wasn't happy, so I made up my own. I think that it looks pretty good. I will take some pix and post them on the yahoo groups page.

Hey, can I also borrow your BFG Friday?
See you on Friday...

Now that's looking good, bro!!!! I can't wait to see it in person. By the way, I have some extra TD pieces you may be interested in.

By the way, you can go to www.photobucket.com and sign up for a free account. This is how you will be able to post pics. You just have to copy the URL and put it in your post and that's pretty much it.

Keep up the great work!

No doubt about that being dirty.

Looks good so far.

Might want to look into getting a different ab plate. TD's don't have the buttons on them. Well in the original movies anyway........Looks good!!!!!
