Ok, thats a bit for now. I still need to finish the small things whos list is a bit long at the moment but ..........let me have it. (holds breath)

I would use steel woole to get rid of the shine on the armor. Or just wash it out.

It´s a tip too shiny for me.

Also use misting on the armor. maybe this will reduce the shine too.

cheers mate,

Sweet, no worries. I was planning on misting the entire armour with a can of flat black. Would that be too much you think?

I'm not an expert on this costume by any means, but maybe a slate/charcoal gray?

On the bucket you mean?

I would mist it with a little black as you have planned and then hit it with a clear matte finish to take the shiny out of it. Off to a good start though. :thumbsup

Thanks cojake, as soon as I source a stalk and the visor arrives I'll mist with black and then seal it with the clear matte. Do I seal the armour the same way?

Check with BKBT for a stalk, he had some posted in the cargo hold. I would hit the armor with the matte finish as well. I used Krylon matte finish in a spray can on my armor. Takes the shine right out.

It's coming along really well. You should definitely mist with some black/gray/brown colors. To seal it andtone down the shine use Testors Dullcote, it's really good and easy. Like this stuff: http://www.thewarstore.com/TestorsDullcote.html

Just posting my finished pics of my ROTJ Fett! I submitted them tonight. Wish me good luck!

Before any one says it .... I forgot to chuck in the bloody shin tools!!!!!!!!!!! Do you think that will effect it?

Thanks mate. I'd like to say big thank you to all the TDH's who helped me throughout the build. Your comments helped a lot!

Looks very good bro! Congrats.

ESB real Fett! why you cheeky ............

great costume

You have put a lot of work into that helmet, and it shows!
But who will be the first to install a OLED screen into the inside of their bucket?
That would be awsome...
