New member and new build...

I'm gonna try color remover on the entire suit and the pouches, and a re-dye back to blue. But I think the cape is a total loss. What's the Rit dye color for an ESB flightsuit? I think I saw somewhere that it's Evening blue?
 
Time for an update. Sorry but it's only one pic...

I was crying the blues about my flightsuit after my last post, but some color remover took out all the dye I added, but somehow preserved the original flightsuit color (it's a little more faded now, which looks really good actually).
The armor's RKD's IOA Armor. I painted it myself with RafalFett's invaluable templates. I haven't weathered it yet, and I'm waiting on some decals from Luckys13 before I clearcoat and weather.
The bucket is supposedly a used asok/FP Budget helm, but I'm a little suspicious... it came with the visor cut out and now has a big crack along the left cheek. Regardless, it looks a little big and I'm in line for one of the new CC GMH's from Asok anyways. (y)
My gauntlets are still sort of a WIP. I sprayed some Krylon titanium metalllic paint on the right one in January, and it's just cured. :confused I have a bunch of metal parts for them from DarkSide, as well as his knee darts. I even have a cast steel dental expander replica from someone on Etsy!

After checking the bank account, I went on a spending spree: CC GMH from Asok, Fett Seven jetpack, Kpc7cr jetpack harness, woodman girth belt, and sidewinder EE-3. I might start a thread about how I plan on weathering my armor with oil paints.
 
Looking good man! I can totally relate to your dyeing fiascoas I just ruined a suit I got from Kpc7cr using the wrong blue, trying to bleach it and ended up giving it a purple hue no matter how many other blues I tried... oh well, live and learn. I just decide to dye it completely black and upgrade my custom mando flight suit. I absolutely love my Arkady Jango suit so I went back to her for my ESB Boba. Looking at your confirms that it was a good choice. I am alsogoing with RKD plates and a lot of MOW parts. I look forward to more updates!
 
95% finished, and finished enough to wear to my local con this weekend. The helmet just needs a final DullCote.

Agreed!! Your paint work came out fantastic, as did the flightsuit color and everything else really. Very impressive. You can drill some MPP style holes in that chrome tube to add a little more detail if you want. Looks really good, man. (y)
 
Thanks guys! About those holes... it is a Heiland flash tube from fleabay. The fine print (that I missed) said that it was modified. I just looked for the holes, but I didn't bother looking where they were located. They are actually next to the Webley barrel. Upgrades are inevitable... ;)

I'll do a proper bucket showoff to finish my helmet thread. As well, I'll have some con pics to post Saturday night.
 
Saturday at the Edmonton Expo...

Anyone ever have the issue of the flaps from the neckseal/dickie popping out? Like, all the time? :confused
