Instead of the base coloar for the pauldrons being black you should have some pauldrons with a base color of a gray.

Just wondering is it possible to make trans colours on fabrics? That would actually look pretty cool. Wink

Do you mean actual SEE-THROUGH fabric? Or just the colors? Laughing

I guess it all depends on what you consider the "base colour" to be, but the main colour of the pauldrons are Dark Grey (front and back). Then there is the coloured portion and finally the black detail lines.

Trans-colours ON fabric isn't the same as trans-coloured plastic. Since fabric is itself an opaque material the trans-colour becomes an opaque colour, so it's pointless. Unless of course if your referring to making the entire fabric transparent (or translucent) as Thunder-Blade pointed out.

Well, seeing most of these posts here, I have to agree that Indy brown - or dark brown, is the best idea yet.

Although lime would be interesting/useful too...Power Miners in Trenchcoats ^^

You definitely need pink in your colors! Razz

Pink like so.

Is this the color you mean, Axel?

MMCB calls it 'Indy Brown', so I'm just going with the flow. And yes, that's the color I meant.

How would it look like if the whole fabric was transparent? I mean like, is that even makeable? Wink

I think it might actually look pretty good, but I don't think it would be possible to do.

Of course it's impossible! Run away!

Unless it's of course a more hard(ish), thin, plasticy material...

Amongst the time I have been spending on orders, I have also been working on some new colours which have now been added to my site.

Earth Orange

Lime (Lime)

I am also working on Dark Brown (or "Indy Brown" as I like to call it), but this proving a little more allusive!!
