Alright guys- Recieved the masking fluid today, and wow..much better : ). Here are some shots of the 3' armor metalic mask so far, along w/ the 4' yellow back armor mask. Tomorrow Im going to hit the yellow on the 3' and green on the 4'. If all keeps going smoothly, I should be done by mid week. Where are the knees and gaunts and blaster you ask? Well, I plan on getting the knees started following the completion of the upper extremity. For the gaunts and blaster, I have ordered the BF play set which I plan on re-painting etc. Love to hear your thoughts.

Ok guys- I recieved the BF play set today and am really happy w/ the gaunt and blaster set-up. Notice how tiny the gaunts are LOL!! Tomorrow I am going to primer both the gaunts and blaster in order to prepare for weathering and paint.

Ok- Hit the gaunts w/ primer lastnight and the blaster this morning. Although I neglected to sand up the gaunts and blaster a bit, the primer sticks just fine as Ive experemented on a nerf setup. Both setsof armor recieved the 1st coat of hunter green. Its a bit cool here in Cali (brisk I should say), so im going to let dry until tomorrow. Hope you guys have agreat weekend.

Ok guys- Here are some teasers! Thanks to Lucky31 I recieved a great set of decals. One set of normal size, and one set scaled for the small 3' armor set. Im just about finished w/ the armor minus the knees, jet pack and wookie braids which ive ordered from woody. When the weathering is finished along w/ the blaster I will post some prelim photos...I am EXTREMELY pleased w/ how this is coming together 1st time around!!! Let me know what you guys think.

Hey DS- Thanks! Lucky brought it to my attention and I figured the 3' armor should have the scaled ones since they are so tiny..they are really tiny : )
 
Thanks SS! I really appreciate the motivation as well as compliments from you guys as I learn from all of you and your talents man! Ill be picking your brain on the jango again real soon as I think im leaning towards the stubby : )
 
I'm interested in seeing how this turns out as I'm doing a set for my 2-month old!

Back in the 90's when I was snagging up everything I could, I actually got that toy set for some reason but long ago gave it to my nephew. Wish he still had it now cuz I'd ask for the gauntlets back! ;)
 
Hey Maud LOL!!! Thats great! And I thought my son being 13 months right now was early! Guess its never too young to fett up huh?! Thanks for sharing buddy!
 
Hey all- Ok, finished the knees...not sure quite how accurate they are as the ROTJ knees were difficult pics to find. Anyhow, this is the finished product. Let me know your thoughts.
