Hey guys, got some big updates on my fett to share with you all. Firstly, after a long long wait, my tailored flight suit arrived. The suit is a perfect, in looks and fit, really accurate and has working pockets on the thighs. I also added a request to the maker to have the collar removed.
Also my harness, along with a replica US diving buckl and hooks arrived the same day. This thing is awesome, ive tried it on and its supper comfy and fits really well. Just gotta wait to paint the jetpack then I can hook it all together.
And speaking of jetpacks ive been doing some more work on mine. Thanks to fett4real. I realised that the yellow was a little to bright, So out came the sandpaper
I stripped it back down to the primer, then started again, this time after painting the silver, I primered it again to give the yellow a better base to stick to. This Time I used the correct humbrol yellow and im very happy with the outcome. O and ignore the black on the white sections, its from when I sanded it and comes off easy enough
Its still not entirely dry yet so I Havant removed the masking fluid, I'll get a picture up tomorrow when I have done. Also you can see how bright the other yellow was as the top tube section is still the original yellow, a couple of shades brighter than the humbrol one ive repainted it with
Jetpack is really getting there an its really good fun painting it, im also working on the rocket aswell but forgot to take some photos
Pretty much all I have done, ive also tried the suit on with the other bits an bobs I have
Really cant wait to finish now that it sort wearable
