Susan's Cuirass

I weathered the cuirass today. I used equal parts black and brown acrylic paint and then watered it down a little. Then I just applied the mixture haphazardly concentrating on the cracks and seams. I did about a 4x4 inch area at a time. I'd smear the paint on and then immediately wipe most of it off with a damp rag. I'm really pleased with the results. It's actually a lot dirtier than the picture shows. It looks very battle-worn which I love! Hooray!

Left To Do for Susan's Battle Outfit:

  • Do 'Embroidery' on Dress Hem
  • Lengthen Dress Sleeves
  • Make Cuirass Straps Attach in Back
  • Add 'Embroidery' to the Top of Cuirass
And I think that's it! Whoo-hoo! I'm so close! That's good because there are only 21 days left!
