I started the body details last night. Leather straps and the jump pack controls were all I got done, almost. I didn't want just a drybrush metal over black to define the box and controls, I wanted something that would stick out a bit. I did a "black" box look so had to highlight it some with greys to bring out the details - I think it worked. I also wanted reds and yellows for the smaller parts, industrial warning colors. I think I struck the right balance in colors here. Choosing yellow for the switchbox and the lightning bolt and balancing that with the red button and the tank on the side.
Blue seems to be my new color for wires so that's probably go with that. I need to do a couple more coats of yellow (ugh!) on the switch box, paint the switch itself and make the bottle mounts copper in color to go with the red.
Then, it's off to the pants! (not off with the pants)
