Looks fantastic!!
Thanks. I think it could be duller too. Can't get the color right. I'll do another coat. But then again I don't know if that will actually make it duller or just darker.

Yes, I would like to know this too. 
Oh and it looks like you painted the belt too. Looks great. What did you use?

Looks like the same decals Vodoun used?
Just needs clear matt and it's sorted.
Think so? You think I got the color down?
Oh, LoL! Thought he meant the decals. Lack of sleep hasn't been doing me too well the past 3 days.
What paint did you use? because the Vallejo bronze is near enough perfect.

So what decals did you guys use? Did I miss the answer, I have been known to be an idiot. HA HA
They're from HK. Hobby Design HD04-0062 1/24 Carbon decal. I tried HD04-0055 High definition composite fiber, which was a more accurate pattern, but a bit too silvery in person (although it matches that entertainment weekly cover picture).
And I used Vallejo bronze metallic for the belt and I love the colour.
And here's a before and after:

Is it this one: Vallejo Model Color - Metallic Bronze VAL998?
Yep. Got the metallic but it doesn't say metallic on the bottle. That's what it said in the listing.
Anyway, I got the DX stuff. This is harder to put together than I thought. I need to find a good bonding agent that will bond rubber.
Yeah, that's the same one I used. After I painted the belt the base colour I went over the cracks and gaps with a thinned out black ink wash, and added some highlights with a bronze/silver mix. The ink wash may be why mine appears darker.
I'm completely ignorant when it comes to painting. I don't know what any of that means. Black ink wash?? Highlights of a bronze/silver mix? Can to help a painting newb out and elaborate a bit.Plus mixing colors is a real ***** for me. I'm color blind. But I'm pretty good with silver and bronze. It's the greens, yellows and browns and the blues and purples that I have a very hard time with.

Hey, sorry. I haven't checked into this thread for a while. I think your belt needs another coat of the metallic bronze. You can still see some of the orange showing through.
The black ink wask is just watered down black ink that I used in the nooks and crannies of the belt to help give it a sense of depth. And i lightly brushed a mix of the bronze with a little silver onto some of the edges, to simulate them catching the light. Nothing fancy really.
Hope that helps
Thanks. I've been meaning to give it another coat just haven't found the time.
