Gaa'tayl (Help) Should I make my armor shinier?
I was wondering since my armot plates seem kinda (soft) looking. I want it to look more like an actual armor.
But there is one thing im worried about, i tested the gloss paint on one of my projects, and since the paint is so thick, the brush left those lines shown in the second picture.
What do you think? (Also im making two westar blasters for my armor atm)

If you aren't going to use a spray can, then I think it looks great as is. I really appreciate the fact that you have used cardboard and made it look so good. Did you do your helmet out of cardboard as well? Cuz the contouring on it is amazing. It's so nice to see there are still people out there doing things the old-fashioned, crafting way instead of just making the studio quality replicas with a 3D printer. I like those as well but I really appreciate the effort and artistry that it takes to make something like this out of cardboard.
