WIP: ESB Fett build

Thanks for the compliments yet again everyone. :cheers

Lots of progress yesterday and today. The mandibles and all red areas now have the silver, reefer gray and maroon colors painted on. Left ear was also redone with a few details still to go. Overall it's getting much closer to completion. Tomorrow or Monday I'll pass the steel wool over it after letting it sit overnight to cure some then I'll start with the final details on the mandibles and back red areas. I'll also start adding the remaining areas I have skipped over for now, such as weathering around the dent.

Not a big update but the painting is complete on the bucket now. I sealed it first with testors metalizer clear then went over that with the flat. Last few days I have been working on the inside of the helmet. Putting in the visor attachments and a suspension system. I think I've just about got those two where I want them. Tomorrow I'll try and do a little touch up if needed in these two areas and drill the hole for the Bordens and get that put in place. The rangefinder will be the next to get some attention but I'm waiting on a servo shaft to come in before I start on that. All in all it's coming together nicely. I took a couple of photos of the mannequin with the helm on because I was anxious to see how it all came together so far. The photos didn't come out great but I'll get better ones later on.

thanks ya'll, it's always nice to hear great compliments. Of course without the dented helmet community I doubt I would be anywhere near this. So cheers to all. :cheers
