There's not any blue on the dome for ROTJ, though.

Well you've used a dark blue, as opposed to more of a grey blue in the templates. Don't forget to check out the reference pics of the actual helmet in the gallery as well!

Time to repaint! This bucket was more for testing anyway, I'm getting a real bucket soon.

Working on my 3rd Jetpack too.
I like where this one is going.

Bought soft parts from Arkady, Armor from RKD, and helmet from tommyboy. Now it's a waiting game.

Oh and a rocket from DVH.

Met with some 501st people today and one of the things they pointed out was my gauntlets were the wrong shade of red (among other small details on them) so I'm off to redo them.

Old v. New

First gauntlet done-ish. Still have to do the darts, tubes, and black paint.

New vs. Old


Me vs Boba vs Me
