Never crossed my mind to use a table to paint on.

Pretty cool you wanted to brush up your skillz before doing mine

looking really good, I like many others will be taking notes and looking forward to the updates

paint paint and more paint....should have the armor done by next weekend

Big shout out to Lucksy31 !!

All of the decals for this project are provided by Lucksy31

I dont know if its the lighting or what but your kill stripes look orange and should be yellow...the damage looks GREAT though

ESB starts out yellow at the front and fades to orange at the rearmost stripes.

correct....

starts yellow and then fades to orange...trust me I saw the ESB hero in person and took about a 300 pics...not to mention I think I spent about 5 hours staring at it....

OOOO learn something new everyday here...I looked at the gallery sure enough the back is orange....now I gotta mod the paint on my helmet GREAT

here is a pic I took at C4 of the ESB hero helmet

Boba ran out of yellow and had to add some red to his yellow to add kills i like it not uniform lol

Dang, how did this thread slip past me?? Awesome so far, Jason!

That is really slick work. The damage on the right shoulder bell is especially eye catching.

Every time I see one of these amazing ESB threads it makes me think about making the switch.... ugh...

working on Left shoulder.... few more minor details on the right and left shoulder and we are done with the armor

I am really pleased with the color/weathering on the armor specifically the light blue on the right chest vs the darker tones on the left and ab plate.

its always interesting to get the two different colors correct on the shoulders....i must say the orange vs the yellow on the left was somewhat of a challenge this time....

anyway I am pretty happy so far...

Truckin right along you mad man

You may very well go down in TDH history as knocking out one of the FASTEST, highest quality suits around brother

Great work as always

Chris

and now for the jetpack....got the prep work done and primer....tomorrow the silver and masking fluid

Im going to be watching this very closely... That linked thread to the Rebelscum suit officially converted me to ESB, and the work done by Darthmiller so far on this one is absolutely amazing. Keep up the good work!!!

Yes....just for you my man

the damage doesnt even look topical...great work bud. I get my armor this week cant wait to get painting

Hey DarthMiller...

I thought I'd use this forum as an avenue to let you know, the Boba Fett Flak Vest you sold me arrived today... and it is AWESOME! Fits perfectly, and the quality is top notch Couldn't be happier with doing business with you either, everything was very timely and very much appreciated!

Thanks again

Know how ya feel, Bob. I've seriously thought about retiring the SE and selling off parts at a time to make the switch gradually. *sigh*

here is a shot of the blaster...

big shout out to STORMRIDER on this bad boy

Saw this yesterday in person.. man it was amazing to see this come together... Great work as always DM.

ok..finished up the ESB blaster and almost done with the jetpack....

here are some pics

thought this pics was cool

jetpack needs red on the thrusters and a few grey scratches and then we are done.....

I still think we can make our 90 day goal of completion

You are crankin' along fast on this!

sweetness!!

awsome work

wow, gorgeous work. I bow to the master.

Amazing as always DM!!!

here is a shot of the shin tools

visor installation

finished up the thrusters and rocket on the jetpack.....all that is left is to install the beacon

what is on the other end of those screws for your visor install? They look really flush with the helmet. very clean

Is that the real thing??... BA$$ dude...

This is awsome work, detailing on everything especially the jet pack is amazing.

Any updates?

not much this past week...just detail stuff....finished up the jetpack, attached thrusters etc...

got the straps on the knee armor

Looks like X-mas morning.

Sweet.

hey Bro..just wanted to thank you again for your decals....they are truly AWESOME.....

Frakkin' Great! I have to agree with Bob that seeing this makes me consider gradually switching to an ESB suit... Only time will tell.

That is just pure awesomeness!!!! Great work as always from one of the best!!!

Amazing work, looks incredible even better than the one from the movie

Thanks man. Just psyched that you'd even consider mine bro!!!

working on the gaunts

got the studs on the backplate

and the beacon on the jetpack

Gaunts are almost finished

big thanks to BBF for his incredible ESB belt

BIG UPDATE TODAY

Here are a few teaser pics

keep in mind the following: the jumpsuit is not weathered yet....this is my personal helmet. The helmet for this project is still being painted...and I dont have the LEFT gaunt on the mannequin

wow that looks freakin awesome bro!!

That looks great..He looks really clean without the weathering but that is impressive.........(I would love to see that Jango right next to him too).

This looks just amazing! I can't wait to see the finished product

This build is incredible...
The scorch marks on the armour looks so real....
Your talent sir is amazing....

ABSOLUTELY love this build.

One quiestion for ya: How is your armor attached? Velcro? Snaps? Screws??

A M A Z I N G....what a excellent awsome job you have done, I can't wait to see it the flight suit weathered up with the helmet too

velcro

Awesome!!!

everything is finished except for the helmet and boots

here are a few pics of the left gaunt

kinda cool pic...jumpsuit weathered

this pic makes me want to keep this suit for myself......at least for a few days I will have a pretty good SE fett along with a sweet ESB fett....
