I'm gone for a bit, and look at the great stuff you guys are doing!
I'm really enjoying (and envious) of your hard work and progress, man.

SUBSCRIBED ;)
 
Hi again, while the plaster applied on the jetpack dries and cures, I´ve done the Shin Tools...

The process is well known yet ;) ...

The Shin Tool taht looks like a tube key or pipe is curing inside a mold taht I made from a real tool with some modifications...

The next, the jetpack advances..., see you.

Final plaster

_MG_7921_zps5d52788a.gif


Now the missile top..

I made it with a 1mm of thickness plastic board but it didn´t look good, so I decide to cover all with plaster and then sand it.

_MG_7920_zps2fc2e80e.gif


Here you have metalized layer for scratches in the jetpack...

_MG_7922_zpsd791fff5.gif


See you right now...

I told you, here I go again...

The top of the missile sanded...

_MG_7926_zps47d06be1.gif

_MG_7968_zps5c386081.gif

Al last the green layer, it looks very desaturated, but it is because of the light, then varnished it will be more vivid...

Some dirt...

_MG_7994_zps27eb0cbe.gif

I¨m very nervous....... I only can wait....
 
Ok I´m in, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, it has been a very quick process (about 24 hours), I´m very happy.

Many thanks to all for following my post and for the good comments, specially to RafalFett an Wizardofflight, without their work on making those amazing templates I could never finish this project, I see you.

My TKID is BH - 17116, I salute you and, as Bounty Hunter, I hope to take my first prize soon....

Wow! That was fast! Congratulations for the approval!

The suit looks absolutely great, and I love how well everything fits on you. And you have good eyes for details: the weathering of the hard and soft parts (although the jumpsuit and the cape is a bit over-weathered) is amazing, and you added the 1 blue/1 white elastic straps to the back of the knee pads too.

The only thing that is wrong on your suit (but easy to replace) is the 4th shin tool. The best replacement (so far) is a metal tube. Measurements here ==> RafalFett's Misc Templates and Blueprints (somewhere in the middle of the first post).
 
Many thanks for your words, the dirt is more exagerated in the pics because of the microcontrast, in live it doesn´t look so dirt.

I´ll watch the 4th shin tool issue because I have followed the 501 CRL and it looks like mine, but I´have no doubt that if you say it, it´ll be true..., again thanks for your words, hope to see you when I start the blasters...

Thanks again.
