Made a bit of progress this weekend.
Attached all the armor to the vest with industrial strength velcro. After trimming all the plates just a little bit, it all fits nicely when I put the vest on.
I padded the inside of the gauntlets and used velcro to keep them shut. They fit perfectly!
Got my hose from Ivan, aka BoomerFett (thanks buddy!) and now these babies are ready to be painted. Already primed, going to put the silver on tonight.
Going to start painting the armor tonight too. Already got the primer and silver on. Just need to do the bits of yellow, then green on top.
Need to finish painting the knees too, they are silver right now. Going to put the yellowish orange on tonight.
Need to also get to the craft store tonight and get some elastic straps for the thong and knee straps.
That should be it for tonight. Going to worry about the visor issue and padding the helmet tomorrow when I'm in between layers of paint.
Only one pic for right now. Test fitting the vest with armor on it, before I put the collar and shouler pieces on. But those fit on great too!
Oh yeah, you can only see his legs, but I got a freaking sweet Boba shirt at HotTopic. Check it out here:
