fanboy's first armor

the helmet is getting started tonight. i'm going to attempt to get it done before next saturday. i'm having a bunch of friends over to watch the entire saga in one day. specifically my fiance's brother who has never seen any of them. mostly on purpose so that he could do the saga someday. gonna be a fun time. i'll have my helmet, my cuz has a scout trooper he painted up like a barc trooper (that's the camo one's right?) gonna put up the vader cardboard standup from frito lay (both my cuz's work there) and i got a 10' episode III poster from a friend who worked at a theater when it came out.

That gives you 9 days to get it done. One thing I strongly recommend: make sure the paint you just applied is dry before moving on with a different layer. If you get impatient with this, it will backfire (or so I've seen other members post that it backfires) and and set you back a day or two.

Hey, I don't think it's been asked yet, but what Boba scheme are you doing? , , or ?
 
i'm going to do the ESB version. i'm figuring on one color or area a day. i'm planning on masking all the major damage areas and painting, then doing the rest topically.

Yet ANOTHER ?????!!!!!!!!! DOOOOOHHHHH! Come on guys.

Ha ha ha :lol:lol::lol: just messin' around ... best of luck painting and weathering it. Get some good progress pics too ... I'd be very interested!:cheers

I've got an ROTJ Boba, but almost every time I see a helmet for sale, it's when I really want a . No prob ... I'm finally getting one from BobaMaker.
 
sorry to dissapoint with another . ;) i've always been a huge fan of empire and thought that would be the one i should go with. i've made some progress on my lid. got the dome, lower cheeks, mandibles, keyslots and upper cheeks painted. i've got a couple pics but haven't transferred them yet. i'll start a progress thread once i do though.
 
Well, I dont think it has to be the SAME trash can, but any retail store/grocery store that sells homeware accessories should have something similar there.
 
I think it would be a good idea to PM fanboy and ask him what the dimensions of the trash can are. That should be a big help once you know how big it is.
 
i would imagine any kind of oval trash can would work. the oval has the shape to form around your body. i'm sure you can find something over there. i checked the sterilite website and they have a list of the stores that carry their stuff.
