Jeremy's NEW Shin Tools

Hi everyone

I've been asked to build and paint a set of shin tools for the 'Dressing the Real Fett' thread
http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f22/official-jeremy-bulloch-project-dressing-real-fett-23257/.
Of course I was over the moon to be asked to help out with this . I decided to go the extra mile and make the largest tool flexible, just like the original 'Paterson' Squeegee.

I bought a 'Paterson' squeegee then sculpted the shin tool, making sure I kept the two halves separate. i then made moulds of these two pieces and made polyurethane resin copies, they turned really well. Below are the pictures showing the basic idea.

DAZ

Daz I don't think you have never 'not' gone that extra mile?
looking great...

That looks just AMAZING!!!

Wow, what a ridiculous concept!!
Send it to me for immediate disposal. . . that kind of stuff shouldn't be allowed.






Looks excellent! How cool.

Man, is there nothing you make that make members drool..lol

So i'll ask what we all want to know...how much?

Yeah Daz. Is this going to be the new Bobamaker "standard" for shin tools? *grin*

Charlie

Daz,

You're a madman bro!!! Nice!

Stay safe,

Tim.

It will be possible to make these tools, I just need to find a supplier for the compression springs. The ones on this set (Jeremy's) are the ones that were inside the original squeegee. I've found a couple of possible springs but so far they aren't quite right.... the hunt continues.

DAZ

Daz, best of luck in your search. If and when you're offering these babies, COUNT ME IN!!!!

I don't know much about Fett stuff but I know that's ace

You really have gone the extra mile, DAZ. It looks great ... nice work as always.

These look great. Jeremy will absolutely become the ultimate Boba Fett.

Great job, Jeremy's suit is going to be one of the all-time best!

that's awesome! having it squeeze is a great touch... gives it a more realistic look.

nice work!!!

That is seriously cool Daz, great work !



FP

Here here, my hats off to you as always you madman

Daz, that's cool and all, but I got to ask.

Why not just use a the real Paterson squeegee to make the tool?

I imagine Daz wanted to make his own copy of the tool, and will perhaps (?) offer it in the future to any interested parties

Nice work as always Daz!

WOW...I'll say it again....Jeremy is getting all the good stuff..
Thanks again DAZ for being apart of the project.:thumbup

I just,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, made a mess!

This is correct, still looking for the springs though.

Why make a copy when the originals are still in production?

Cheaper?

The replica does look extremely nice though.

The shin tools are now fully painted and weathered. I'm happy with the way they turned out.

DAZ

Great work Daz... very nice! JB should be very happy...
How's that search for a spring supplier?

I thught it would be fairly easy to find the correct springs... wrong

The search continues....

wow they look perfect. i gonna get me a box of diapers for when the whole suit is done. great work.

Super work!

Those look killer...nice work!

Yes awsome work. I love how you added the springs.

Daz, those came out great! Love that burnt orange color.

Looks great Daz,
But...
That's a ROTJ anti-security blade
I believe the ESB does not have the Red stripe

All the ESB shots I've seen show the anti-security blade sitting quite low in the pocket so there's no way to tell if the stripe is present or not. The visual dictionary does have a couple of these tools, with and without the stripe.

Do you have a shot from ESB of the anti-security blade more visible? It's not too late or too difficult for me to remove the stripe

only one I've seen is from Parts of Star Wars
You might be right though since it is shorter in ESB

Maybe this pic helps:

Well, I just got home....and guess what was waiting for me......

OUTSTANDING Daz...:thumbup

these are just phenomenal!!!

Thank you again...

Those shin tools look awesome Daz! I'm sure Mr. Bulloch would be very happy with the efforts of everyone involved in the making of his Fett costume! Keep up the good work guys!

Thanks, I've seen a few pictures similar to this but is there any evidence that this was inside the ESB shin tool pocket?

Cheers

Good work DAZ

Is it the stitching in the Jumpsuit shin pockets that squeezes the squeegee at the bottom creating the taper at the top, or was it molded/glued that way?

It's hard to see in ref photos, but 'sonic beam weapon' defiantly looks angled.

Hi Daz, This is the shin tools that I want, always with the more high-level!!!!
We are in contact, Leo

Sorry to drag this back up,

Daz, is this new version available now??

it's difficult to source the correct springs. I do occasionally find the odd spring.

DAZ

The moment you get your hands on those springs, I'll have to change my pants.

man you' re amazing. Somehow you' re able to take the original stuf... then make copies or replica's that look as cool as the original... only more... solid... your stuff looks like it comes from the " Boba Fett 1:1 factory" rather the a scratch build movie costume...

it's stunning...

congrats DAZ, you did it again!!
