ESB painted ARMOR??

Just wanted to get you ESB guys to critique my recent commissioned ESB Armor.....

Since there isn't much High RES reference on ESB was hoping to get some feedback...

Oh this is all modifed FETTPRIDE version one armor....

Thanks..

Toss it Alex and just count it as a crash and burn.

To be quite honest, I think it looks amazing. I think it looks really well done considering how many high res images of the ESB I've studied. The color, weathering, shading. the damage it all looks extremely well done. Two thumbs way up.

Spidey!!!...If your going to post a show thread at least show your OWN work and quit pasting stills from ILM's filming suit!!!


Awesome work as always!

..Thank you.... just trying to keep pace with you..:thumbup

Oooooooh!! Nice.
I love the way that shoulder "decal" came out. Is it a decal??? I kind of see a raised edge. . . but then part of the skull looks hand painted.

WOW you nailed it bro.. ...it's both....
I didn't like how "red" the decal was...so I just painted on it to darken... ..then sealed it of coarse...

Wow!! That is some really nice work right there. Good job, dude!

Good job spidey... Is fantastic!

I would be well happy with that paint job, looks faultless to me. Well done, mate !!

Hmm I don't know man. I think you need a little more practice before you can start charging money. You probably need to paint around 1 more full set of armor. I'll tell you what, I will send you my armor to practice on. Looks great man:thumbup

I have just spent hours myself staring at the ESB photos, and those shoulder bells look really good!

Looks fantastic! Perfect contrast between left shoulder bell and the right/knees.

Holy cow A! That looks fantastic! You did a great job bud, You should be very proud. Awesome work!

I know me too.. ....maybe this is one of the reasons not many people have done ESB, because of the lack of actual HIGH RES reference.....so I just ad-libbed(sp) on some area's.. ....

Thanks for the comments, was kinda hoping you guys would tear into it more...

Looks great!

Don't forget the red and black rings on the knee darts

Oops.. .....thanks

How much tearing into it do you want? I don't want to seem like a jerk or anything.

I'm a big boy.. ...just wanna get it right..

I've never painted anything for Fett, but I just wanted to point out a few things I noticed. Again, you did a GREAT job on this, like you always do, just want to help get it as accurate as possible.

I don't have many good knee reference pics, but from what I have, your paintjob on the knees looks spot on!

EDIT: I just noticed that saving these in .jpg really messed up the stuff I circled. I'll reupload these in .png from Photobucket if you want better versions.

PERFECT!!!...that's exactly what I needed...!! :thumbup ..
Good eye...

thanks Bro

Yeah, those two light grey areas on the left shoulder is what I was going to point out, but Mando man beat me to it. Otherwise, Very impressive painting there!!!

Great job.

What did you use for the metallic paint? It looks great!

Like most of what I paint it's layered.....Testors Chrome ..

WOW! :thumbup
Awesome armor there. There is so much talent on these boards! SpideyFett, beautiful paint job! You should be proud!

i would go over the badge part of shoulder bell with the mandalorian symbol again. it's not white, but it's not the same yellow as the shoulder bell so there shouldn't be any misting of the yellow color. instead it's more of a tan color from what i can tell from hd screen grabs. the dark grey scuff marks right above the actual skull are correct though, or pretty close.

Hei Spidey, updates?

Man after looking at these pics I have to say Alex you should just stop painting, I mean you are really, really, really terrible at it. For pete's sake I have seen 5 year old kids paint better with their fingers. I can't believe people pay you money for this kind of nonsense. If anything you should be paying me just to look at this utter poop. Do you even paint with your eyes open or were you like using the focre??











There, happy I tore into you a bit? J/k of course bro it looks awesome.
