ok....here's a newer version. I used the skin of WeeRaby's bone crusher as a model, hope it doesn't matter cuz this isn't going public.
Anyway, I've added some plates to the skin, but now the problem is getting it to look worn on, not fresh outta the war factory

How would I do that? I usually use the paintbrush tool with a low density and hardness, but there are better ways, right?
