Hello everyone, and welcome to my ROTJ SE scratch build thread!
Before I get started I just wanted to say thank you to the entire community here, for allowing me to join, and for your collective knowledge and talent. The sheer amount of information gathered here is unparalleled, thank you all.
Like the title suggests I'm going to build as much as I can, at least as far as the helm and amour is concerned. For the soft parts I might have a go if time allows, but looking around here there a lot of real talented artists here who I hope to turn to. Building this costume will introduce me to some new processes like moulding/casting, and airbrushing so it's all very exciting!
The helmet and gauntlets are from Skips pepakura(hope that's correct), the helm I have a love-hate thing going on, may or may not have the right shape but it fits over my glasses. The gauntlets I'm not sure how to finish them, at the moment I can't fibreglass the inside because of the layered detail top pieces(not shown are the bottoms). The amour is going to be made from 3mm sintra.
Again a big thanks to all of you for all the great work you do, I welcome any advice, inputs, thoughts, and questions(I have many).
