This has been accomplished by gouging effect scars on the surface and burning up the helmet with a flashlight. The helmet has been painted using white, gray, and dark enamels, and finished with a quilt of clear matte to give therealistic 'used' appearance observed in the Duplicate Wars moments.

This Instructable will display you how to build a match of Clone Shield out of ordinary foam, cardboard, and duct video tape. This particular suit has been constructed for my 12-year-old step-brother, using an action shape as reference point. A several pieces are usually missing (like as the hands safeguards, ab plate, and thermal detonator) but the look is certainly conveyed. From start to complete, this project had taken about a month and-a-half to full. I can't accurately determine a spending budget, as I currently had various of the materials on hand, but anticipate to pay $50+ if you are usually buying everything.
Anyhow, on to the ways! Interlocking Foam floor mats- Present at House Depot and Have Freight Equipment, arrives in packages of four-$18 (you will require 2 four-packs) Cardboard-Any will work as long as it'h corrugated-Free!
Build foam-Sold at most craft shops in 12'a18' linens-99 cents a page Plasti-Dip Spráy-Sold at Home Depot-$6.95 a can-This construct demands at least six containers Glossy White colored Spray Color-$4.48 a can-You will need about four cups. Poster plank or some other stiff paper-For making web templates Duct Cassette!-Also found at Home Depot and nearly all craft stores Flexible straps-Found at most craft shops Heat gun-Used for framing the polyurethane foam Popular glue gun+hot glue-Used to set up the fit Dremel-Used for relief details (Optional) Latex caulking-Used to fill in the séams where the foam comes collectively. Provides a more 'solid' look, but isn'capital t entirely necessary. Hot glue the upper body pieces jointly, and glue the craft foam pieces to the cardboard boxes.
You'll furthermore would like to define a groove down the middle of the chest plate with the dremel. Also define a groove following the blue line proven on the codpiéce. If you select to use the latex caulking, put down a series along the seam, and easy it with a paper bath towel.
After that'beds done, reduce some flexible shoulder straps and and glue the chest and back together at the shoulder muscles and sides. I didn't get many pictures of the strapping procedure, as I had been wrapped up with college at the time, but I'll try out to explain it as most effective I can. The shins (not pictured) are held together by three shoulder straps on each side. The shoulder bells connect to the shoulder straps with a single piece of elastic, and an extra strap can be glued to the bottom edge of the bell that attaches to the upper limb.
There is usually also a cycle on the bell that helps to keep it from flopping about. The thighs are linked to the codpiéce with a one bracelet on each side. The base of the cod piece links to the base of the rear end plate with a individual wrist strap. Before you can paint the pieces, they will need to become sealed, as foam is certainly porous (and will consequently absorb color). Plasti-Dip can be a rubberized aerosol that is certainly usually used to provide equipment 'grip,' and will close off porous surfaces. Prepare your functioning area, fixed up your parts, and squirt.
Each item will require two apparel. For the initial coat, simply apply until you can't find the color of the polyurethane foam any more. After it dries, the foam will possess consumed the spray in a several areas. For the second coat, spray a weightier layer on the locations that obtained absorbed, and apply it in with a papers towel. Use a round movement, as this will provide a smooth surface.
