Rotj Build Up

Finally got some good weather around these parts!
I weathered my rotj suit and cape, which are still out drying at the moment...
Nearly completed my gauntlets, just need to weather here and there, and add in a light to the left gauntlet....

I also attached mojo toe spikes to my boots, and painted my newer rkd shoulders....

More to come....Sooooo much more to do!!
 
Finally back home from out of town, and got some painting done. I also got some grommets to mount the chest armor, and have it temporarily taped on my mannequin to get the armor in the right spot. I also got some weathering done on my jumpsuit...
More to come..

So I started to work on attaching the armor to the vest. I am using the grommet method and so far it is working out pretty good..

To place the grommets, i made paper templates of the armor pieces. I tripled checked the location of each post and marked spot on the vest before punching out the grommet holes..

Looks great! I will be going this method as well. Makes me a bit nervous but triple checking is the key ;)

Thanks bro! I was really nervous, but luckily I didn't run into too many problems.:)

OK so I finished mounting/painting and weathering all the front armor. I layered the silver and green paint, but hand-painted on the yellow layer.. I weathered the pieces with black and brown pastels,and then hit everything with two coats of dullcoat clear coat..I also repainting my girth belt, to a brighter red..

20140526_141202.jpgI also installed my Fettronics board..
20140526_164151.jpg20140526_164239.jpg finally I made an insert for the center diamond...
 
Looking really good man. Did you do a post on the center diamond also? I'm going to go this route on my Jango build, as they are fiberglass parts on the vest. Still unsure on the Boba, but may go there with it too. Almost seems like overkill with the small ABS parts.
Paint on the armor looks nice, hope to start on mine soon.
 
Yeah I used two posts for the diamond... It might be alittle overkill, but it makes me feel better that these pieces are never going anywhere! With a little patience and triple measuring, it really isn't that hard...
 
I have been slowly chipping away on things.... seems like when I get something done, 5 more things pop up to do!
Anyway.. First off, I received a few things in the mail the other day :)

Also I started working on repainting my helmet...again!

I still have to add in the physical damage! I wanted to have everything lined up before i added that in, since the helmet was a Coldcast anyway....More to come....
