WIP: Fett 4 Reals SE Boba

With the coffee and tea both I got some warm water soaked it in there squeezed it out then rubbed the **** out of it into the suit....Dirt works really good to with a little water as well. Rubbing it in with a damp towel. Heres where Im at with the weathering put the vest and neck seal on to give an idea of how much dirt was added. Not sure if i want to add weathering to the vest and seal or not opinions? In pics and screen shots it looks to be clean but some it looks weathered lol

I would highly recommend adding weathering to the vest and neckseal, or else it's going to keep that really clean sheen to it. If you look at the reference photos, you'll be able to see where there's a lot of subtle weathering on both articles. I'd say go for it. (y)
 
The weathering on the jumpsuit looks amazing. Definatly looks like the same weathering i have seen on other SE suits, which i think looks correct.
As far as weathering on the vest and neckseal, just lightly mist it with some gray and black paint. No more, no less.

lol i dont think so...Im gonna add some more genuine Desert to the vest and seal to take away the sheen...I just added the final soot if you will to the Flight Suit...Used some of my favorite black boot polish Lincoln Wax

Sweet Im gonna work on adding the top scratch to the Helmet tomorrow if I can find the gray for it....I got it stenciled onto the helmet just need paint to it now.
 
Well I took the stencils from the Helmet section and some pics and went to work on "fixing" some of the things I wanted to be more correct on my ESB helmet. The Dent was very "clean" solid silver no flecks of dark grey in there, there was no dome scratch at all on the helmet...the Kill stripe area needed some dark grey added nothing major just things that I noticed and wanted to take care of...and the lower cheek areas were close but not quite there. All in all Im happy with the way it went, they didnt have a dark grey at michaels so I got flat grey and flat black and used my 20k a year tuition I paid at University of the Arts and mixed up the same grey that was on the helmet from the previous owner or whoever painted it. Took liquid mask and masked out the outer area of the scratch. Then I went back in with silver and painted in the chrome area, free handed. Never liked painting when I had an assignment Im a pencil guy myself but I enjoyed working on this today. Added the flecks of dark gray into the dent and around the scrapes and some more by the kill stripes...also added a little silver where it was missing on the cheeks...Some of the paint wasnt all the way dry in the pics where it looks darker

Before...no top scrape

nice work man, i think were going backwards from one amother, i have all my hard parts and im waiting for the soft ones to come in, i just finished painting my esb mow gauntlets and im waiting for my tk409 vest and my bobamaker flight suit, ill probably use the same weathering techniques that you are using.
 
Yeh we ran into that with woodman before! Ordered this last night...think it should make a REALLY good jetpack harness...and I can use it for work too! Thats always a good thing
